The tracker question depends on the Ts & Cs attached to the loan. From a financial perspective, you might be better off staying where you are and renting out the place you were left in the will though I realise that it's probably the family home and you'd now prefer to live there rather than put a bunch of strangers in it.

No Dishonest Dealings. Don't ask how to get around repaying debts/defaulting/giving false information for loans etc - basically if it's not above board, and legal, it's not allowed. This includes advising posters to do it/how to do it.

OP if you are claiming TRS then you need to advise the bank and revenue that the dwelling is no longer main residence. "Popping in" once or twice a week to check on the place does not count as residing there.
