Having said that (!), if your mother really has paid all the mortgage since the time the house was bought, she probably has the beneficial interest in the house, with your aunt only having the legal title to the house. A court would probably state that your mother 'owns' the house, despite what it says on the deeds.
Re the €25k being reduced to nothing, as stated above this shouldn't have happened. In the event of an award being made to your uncle out of the estate in the sum of €200k, this will reduce everyone's bequest proportionally. .

mallow said:I agree with Sherman,
I can't be sure without knowing all the facts, but I think a court would decide that your aunt held the legal title to the property on trust for your mother if that was the understanding at the time and your mother paid the mortgage repayments since then.
