<prompt> Human: Im a 20 year old male in the UK. My mother died of cancer in November last year. My father stayed alone in our old house for around 8 months, and has found a woman he really likes. She is lovely, welcoming, a kind person. Our house was mortgaged, but was paid off when my mothers inheritance was delivered. I legally own half the house, with the other half belonging to my father. If the house is sold, I get half the money. However, my father wants to move closer to his new partner and his new partner is raising concerns that he should be legally responsible for the entirety of the funds. I have 15300 in an ISA that only I can access but I will graduate university with 40k debt. I wish I had the funds to pay that off immediately, but I dont know what to do. My worry is that if my half is taken, then the legal claim I have to a house bought with the money is diluted from half the house, to at least a quarter between my father, his partner, her daughters and myself. My fathers will currently features a cover letter adding that his sons from his first marriage are not to receive any funds or property. I was the only child of his second marriage, and we havent seen his first two children for 15 years after they were confronted by my father for consuming drugs. They were paid child support by my dad until they both turned 18 but we never saw them after he got mad at them about the drugs. My father provided for them and saw them 3 days a week minimum up until they stopped showing up. What can I draw up or produce that legally protects me, and guarantees I will have a house to my name and my name alone when my father dies? Im being told Im too young to be responsible for the kind of money selling a 385,000 house would bring but I also know when Im being ignored. Any advice you guys can contribute is great, thanks in advance!Sorry for poor formatting, on mobileEdit: clarification regarding will. Edit 2: Thank you for the help everyone, I appreciate the comments ranging from Youre an idiot for even asking, its common sense to intricate plans on lawyering up and planning where to invest and safeguard money. Everything helps build up confidence. All I can say is that I will contact a lawyer and sit down with all the paperwork I can get my hands on and discuss plans. Ill post an update in a few months. Thank you PF! Assistant: rlegaladviceHuman: Did not know that was a thing, Ill x-post this. Thanks stranger! Assistant: Do cross post the link in rlegaladvice in order to follow along. Even though I already know what theyre going to say over thereHuman: Already got two Get a lawyers. Solid advice, but I was hoping for more detail.  <response>: Im being told Im too young to be responsible for the kind of money You see, when they say you dont need a lawyer for this, the above is exactly what you should say back to them: you say I am too young to be responsible, which is why Im getting a lawyer. If they say that they can handle it, you can start asking about the legal particulars, which they wont know, which is why you all need lawyers. Manipulative people are quite manipulative. You need to have someone who is unbiased, knows the law, and can stand up to them i.e. is not younger less experienced. They will use emotional ties that you have with them to make you do what you should not do. The lawyer will not give a shit about their feelings. If possible, have them talk directly to the lawyer with you in the room, rather than to you with the lawyer in the room. It changes the dynamic. Dont agree to anything without talking with the lawyer outside of their earshot. Yes, this will make the entire process really, really slow; you want that. If will give you time to think. By the way, see if you can get a lawyer for your dad too. Hes going to need one.
