Cool ownership vs will
I built my house on my parents property. I took a housing loan from my a housing loan from my union and one of the requirements was that my parents make me a co owner which they did. My father is now late and the house has not been transferred but the rates has been transferred to my mother’s name. My mother has made a will stating that when she dies the house goes to my sister. Will my co ownership succeed her will.

Your co-ownership of the property should be registered at the deeds office. If it has not been done you should get a conveyancing attorney to do so. In that case your mother cannot bequeath your portion of the property to your sister.
