When she died later and the house was sold, it is reasonable to say that the division of property should not be patriarchal. The children are all their own, so share them equally! But considering that the old man left a message before his death, should we respect his legacy? This is for her to consider and make a decision!
It can be decided according to the future pension situation. If you divide your property now, not only will you not be able to enjoy the pension, but you may also turn your children against each other. No matter what happens, you will basically be finished.
If you can take care of yourself now and have a pension, then you can maintain the status quo and your children can't count on it. They don't want to get involved in your real estate now, and you don't want to get involved in their lives. A suite in Shanghai is millions anyway. I think it is enough to support the elderly without children.
So you still maintain the status quo now, and when you really find that your health is failing, whoever gives you the old-age real estate will of course leave a will to explain the ownership of the real estate after a hundred years. When you are alive, you may change your will according to the old-age situation. As long as you have the money, those who can afford it have this right. Hand it all over, and there will be no autonomy.
It is best to be fair to children on the issue of money, not partial, otherwise it may lead to conflicts between brothers. Look at the present situation. My son got married without spending money, and my daughter got married with 40,000 yuan. What will the son say? It's hard to say about the daughter-in-law, and the pillow breeze is fierce, so I think it's better to maintain the status quo. We can't divide the property, and it's not good to give it to our son. It is the best way to give it after a hundred years. If all children support the elderly, then the property is divided between two people, so just write it clearly in the will. This time can't be made public, otherwise it will be in trouble.
