My partner and I have been together for just over 2 years and in September we purchased a house together using some of my inheritance for the deposit. I am 24 and he is 21We were advised to make a will by our solicitor seeing as we are now property owners. We made it yesterday and my mum just called to say she is horrified by what we have decided to do with our money and assets!My partner has 3 sisters and I have 1 brother so we decided to simply do a mirror will and then in the event of both of our deaths we would split everything equally between the 4 siblings. This is obviously looking at the near future as we are not married and don't have any children. My mum and dad said that we should leave his sisters 10% each and my brother 70% as I put in the money for the deposit thus starting our future in this house. As a teacher I also earn twice what my partner earns as a sales assistant and they feel that he is sponging off me and always has been - despite me telling her that we both pay the bills and the mortgage. She thinks I should change the will immediately and I'm beginning to wish I had never mentioned it to her as I know she has always been 'interested' in our finances.What should I do as I know my partner would be really offended and upset if I told him what she has said to me about him - yet I feel like I am never able to stand up to her as she has done it all before and 'knows best'!Help!!Thanks - troubled teacher!!!
