He has been divorced twice, lost his home, no assets, small outstanding debt on the loss of his home, no interest in paying what's owed.
I would caution against marriage given what you have posted
Met my partner 10 years ago and living with him 8 years, getting married in 2 years
From what the OP has posted, they dont want to do this.leaving him the home to do with it as he pleases.
SMH - Danny has been polite in his answerI don't want my home to go to his family and I dont trust him to ensure the home goes to my family on his death.
It sounds like you need a prenuptial agreement,
you suddenly die in January where do you think your partner could live?
My understanding is that you can leave the property to your family with a sole residency clause so your partner can continue to live there until he passes away.
Agree in that it might help clarify what was intended when they got married, but such agreements are not recognised in Irish law, so he would be free to ignore it.
I talking about scenarios I’ve seen where the children from Marriage 1 get nothing.If only life was so simple Gordon.
I am assuming you divorced wife 1 before you married wife 2? In the divorce settlement you made provision for your wife 1 and 3 children - essentially she ended up with €15 mil.
If you die after marrying wife 2 - she gets at least 2/3 and the remaining goes to your children. So €10 to her and €5mil to your three kids.
Being young wife 2 probably is at least pregnant by this stage so the €5 mil is shared between the 4 kids.
Ultimately when both wives die and split the estate equally between their own kids, kids 1-3 will end up with €6+mil, and kid 4 with €11+ mil.
Was this what you wanted? Did you want kids 1-3 to have €10 mil each? And kid 4 €0? Did you want wife 1 to have nothing after the divorce? Did you want to dump wife 2 with €0 when you moved on to wife 3?
I want my partner to live in the home until he dies with no rent to pay. He just needs to maintain the home and pay the bills. The mortgage will be clear in the next 2 years. I have worked so hard to get to where I am, and I just don't want his family getting thousands each whilst my family get nothing. If I die before him, he gets my pension, my savings, my life insurance policy and remains in our family home, but on his death, I just dont want his family getting the home.It sounds like you need a prenuptial agreement, which would lay out the state of play on both sides. Citizens advice say that a spouse is entitled to one half of the estate. This can be given up in a pre-nuptial agreement. You and your partner should get independent legal advice before you both sign a pre-nup. Once that is complete make your will and live happily ever after.
But I would agree with Allen that he has already contributed to the home in the last 8 years by paying all the household bills. It could be argued that this freed you up to make the mortgage payments. If I were advising him I would say put all the household bills in your name alone.
One question I wonder about, say you draw up a will next week leaving your house to your family. And you suddenly die in January where do you think your partner could live?
