Wtf is this? Lol... force MIL to write will to transfer? If not, seek legal advice? Oh boy ....MIL has no legal obligation whatsoever to transfer to anybody...

You are correct, legally nothing can be done when shes alive, but when she dies it becomes a different ball game of who has more money to pay legal fees because a complicated inheritance case will take 1 year - 10 years before execution of will.

Getting MIL to write a will to transfer is not the best method. Wills can be changed, superceded or challenged. It is also troublesome to handle a joint property after one partner has died, will or no will.

Daughter should talk to her mother to transfer the full title to her while she is still alive. If MIL has the intention to gift the RM100K she put in to her daughter this should not be a problem, right?

If MIL refuses, make arrangement to pay back her RM100K and take full control of the property. It is better than having to split the property 50-50 in future due to the joint ownership.

During dating, when it is paying time your uncle always go Dutch too?

What kind of man expecting the wife to pay/contribute for household expenses? If your uncle could not afford it, he should not have start a family in the 1st place.

usually for chinese, whatever properties belongs to parent will 100% goes for the son/sons

There is no need to castigate a man who expects his wife to contribute to household expenses. These days women want equality. A wife may earn as much as her husband. Buying a home may require the joint income of both husband and wife. The concept of a husband paying everything and wife keeps what she earns is outdated. Please update yourself.

I think TS is very weird. Obviously everyone here has said the uncle is the problem fella but ts cannot accept. Ts why? You come here to get someone to agree with you being greedy?

The method the grandma used is actually quite good to ensure her daughter has a roof over her head in case she married a bad man which seemed to be the case here. Seriously ts said he is in finance but has little finance knowledge.

If the auntie is paying loan under her name, then her salary should be 3 times the installment. So I can't see why she is struggling unless there are things ts is hiding. A 500k house, the loan amount is more than rm2.5k instalment, so her salary should be at least rm7.5k. Do come clean.

Whatever agreement the daughter has with the mum is made in best interest. Tell me which property bought 15 years ago has not increased in value in the last 15 years. If not double, it would have been tripled. 15 years ago when grandma gave rm100k cash (quite a lot of money then), the brother did not even ask for anything. He probably wouldn't know the mother plan of giving the entire bungalow to him then. If he had been petty, he would have made his views heard.

Seriously I think ts has the same mentality as the uncle. And if the uncle had been successful with properties, he shouldn't be seeking advices from ts.

Tell those brats dont be so greedy. Its not theirs to begin with

Correct. It’s natural for mother to protect daughter from marriage. TS uncle is harping over and over again about how the wife never contributed to household expenses because all her money went into paying property which the uncle had no share. TS uncle must know that in this world , many husbands take care of all household expenses with no qualms... it is for the benefit of the whole family...one cannot be so calculative in marriage ... if want to count until like that .. better stay single

What's wrong with your uncle mother in law giving a property value 500k to his wife?

Your uncle is right, his wife paid for the property, but she only pay 400k / 500k, another 100k is coming from his mother in law. So the actual inheritance is only 100k. It's up to his mother in law want to give how much inheritance monies to her daughter.
Your uncle don't have any right to make demand. Yes, his wife pay the instalment for the 500k property of which was later pass down to his wife and your uncle and wife didn't pay installment for the banglow that his brother in law got. So what valid claim does your uncle have over the banglow?

grandma punya. she still alive and sound. she decides to give the house to her son. so why your uncle kecoh? greedy uncle. better stay away from him

As a husband this doesnt make sense. If you could not support your wife and kids, dont get married? The fact wife is working and have money is a bonus, but you should not be counting on her money, no?

I personally feel TS = uncle. That's why he's so defensive about the idea even though everyone else already canned it.

the granma has all the rights to give it to anyone that she feels right. as to the son in law, the 3mill property, it was not destined for your children. you need to teach them to work on their @ss off to earn hard money.. no free lunch in this world. this is more valuable than fighting for something that isnt urs at the first place... unfair? yes.. u may call it unfair.. but thats life..

How old are the kids? Haven't start work already hoping for inheritance?

It is amazing that in the year 2020, we still have a bigger majority of people thinking that it is right for sons to get everything and daughters can consider themselves lucky to even smell a passing fart.

It is even more amazing that a lot of people still think that the husband should pay for everything and it is an outrage to expect his wife to contribute to family expenses. A lot of old mindset here.
