If you really think that is how it works or is approached there is little to debate. We are probably wasting the OPs time and adding to his worries.
As an aside, mum is in the middle of a situation where a daughter with possible mental health issues is waging an alleged vendetta against a brother and has alleged that he is maltreating her and has allegedly assaulted her. Mum is the ball in this particular game. There has already been a police call out to do a welfare check because of said allegations and people are advising the OP to go to police, solicitors, recording visits, asking about wills, taking a go pro camera on visits to see his mum, getting impartial people to take statements from his mum to say she is ok. What could possibly go wrong? The way it is going the police will make a safeguarding referral to social services if there are any more allegations or call outs.
Good luck OP. Hope it gets resolved.
