If my grandmother has Alzheimer’s and her current husband is intending to sell their house but it’s supposed to go to me,is there anything I can do?
My real grandfather died about 10 years ago and when my grandma was still coherent, she told us she had a separate Will and was going to leave me the house. I’m just worried about her current husband’s intentions. They definitely don’t need the money from the house sale and they seem to get a lot of pressure from the Mormon Church.

I am so sorry for your Grandmother's situation. You need to seek help from ana ttorney in the area. There are too many issues that need to be addressed. First, if your Grandmother and her husband own the house together then it passes to him at her death. If she dies first he can do with it as he pleases. That overrides any Will she may have leaving it to you. If he chooses to sell it now he willneed to have guardianship or conservatorship over your Grandmother to sign for her because clearly she does not the legal capacity to do so. Get help. Good luck.
