Good afternoon,
I'm hoping to get some guidance.
My brother in law has been living in my father in law's house for the last 14 years. My father in law has never lived in the house and has instead lived with his other son's family (my husband and our family).
My brother in law's wife has now left him and she is saying that she is entitled to 75% of my father in law's house. They have two children together - one is 18 and the other is 14.
Is this possible? Is she able to take 75% of my father in law's house?
My brother in law had a verbal agreement with my father in law that he will pay the mortgage as rent and all bills and water ates whilst he lives in the house and my husband has been paying the council rates and land taxes.
My father in law is now distressed that his house could be taken away from him.
