I'm not sure by what means you can accomplish that legaly, but it sounds to me like you and your siblings might have to give up some of your inheritance to help secure her future. Perhaps the provision that she keep the house until some future time could be clarified and or the percentages could be altered to give her a better start. I'm sure it's a weight on your father that he is unable to leave you both everything he wants to. Whatever the outcome, best of luck and look for the best solution now rather than having this problem last on indefinatly.

I think that's the extent of it. Under the best circumstances, the 75% will be distributed when she passes away. However, there is still a chance that some or all of it will disappear for a variety of reasons. It's a compromise, but I should just respect my dad's wishes and accept it for what it is.
