Being careful.

We are tenants in common with a 50/50 share. Steve can leave his share to whomever he wishes, as can I but the property cannot be sold until both of us are dead. Neither can anyone move in if Steve dies.

I suppose, in theory that someone could try to bully me into selling up before I wanted to, but these flats are difficult to sell and their price is dropping all the time. I'm not sure it would be worth anyone's effort.

I'm not an easy person to bully, I'm not easily intimidated. Also I could ask my family for help if I really needed to.

As I said, I took legal advice from a solicitor who came highly recommended by a family member.
