Hi

I am asking on behalf of my mother, she wants to go into property rental and become a landord, however the problem she is worried about is her marital law. She is married in-community of property with my dad but my dad is also married in community of property to another 2nd wife. Now her issue is if she passes away the property will be left to my dad and the other half to the 2nd, however she wants to buy it under her name but ammend the will such that the 2nd wife doesnt get the property, is that possible? The other option was to buy it under her children's names, but they are females and they are also married in community of property, however, there is me the male child, she wants to know if there is a way to buy it under my name with conditions that she is still the sole owner until death and such that when i marry I sign a prenup to share the property with my siblings. Is all these possible?, kindly advice please.

I don't understand how your dad can be married to two women at the same time, in community of property.
