Ok so not my first time posting about this but people just aren’t understanding the situation.

I’m going to dumb the situation down.

I’m married. Husband (57) wants me (46) to buy into his family home ( half the value ) He would own half. I would own half. We will own it outright and have no mortgage.

The caveat is that he wants me to sign an agreement stating that if he dies I will offer his two boys the first right to purchase the home. He will be leaving them money to purchase the home. He wants me out and the home sold to them within two years of his passing.

The benefit to me is that I would receive the full home value ie: I put in $300,000 but will receive $600,000

I’m feeling that this will never be ‘my home’ because I’ll eventually be forced to move out if he dies first so it’s hard mentally to want to put time, money and love into the home ownership knowing that. On the plus side I could double my money and buy somewhere else. We live in Canada.
