How fabulous that your grandmother provided for a roof over your mother's head and did her best to ensure she would continue to have a place to call home.
It's kind of sad that mom is looking for a way to use the proceeds from a sale to pay her bills. Where is she going to live, then? What's to prevent her from running up a lot of bills all over again, which is very common when people spend more than they make?
I've never seen a clause like that in a will but I have seen it in a mortgage and that may be why it is stated that way in the will. I'd start out looking at the mortgage papework and find out if it stipulates in there it is to be a primary residence
I'm guessing the clause is in the will for the very reason that the scheming is going on...she was trying to ensure her daughter always had a place to live...
Agreed, and, my grandmother was a saint for doing so. My mother would be on the street, otherwise. But at the same time, I can see my mother's point of view.
The house, for those of you familiar with Phoenix, is in the notorious Maryvale area - My mother doesn't feel safe there living alone. And I completely understand that. So. yes. I'd say that she needs to sell the house and move. But, she's determined to profit from the situation.

Strange you should wait so long to bring this up / make this up.
It appears you are siding with your mother and are not that intrested i what other posters say.
It isn't safe for your mother, yet it was safe for your grandmother ?

I feel almost crushed that I'm about to dignify that with a reply.
No, it was not safe for her. But my grandmother was also not living there alone like my mother is currently. My mother was there, and so was I. The situation is different.
And to suggest that I MADE this up? Hah. That's nonsense. These are the facts - the only reason I didn't state them at first is because I was asking for advice, and not for you to judge myself or my mother or her financial decisions. I did not think I would have to DEFEND her position in the matter amongst accusations from thick-headed strangers.
I thank the posters that gave me good information. You, however, I do not.
