Our wills have a similar clause but also specify that the person living at the house has to pay all the normal bills.0 -
Just reread the will, no mention of time limit like I was told, it was a verbal agreement that he would have 3 months. Is selling the house part of probate? What is the order it happens? Never had to deal with this before.0

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

Talk of eviction seems premature. The parent has only just died, considering this is the son's home, you would think that the siblings would at least wait until after the funeral before planning on removing their brother from his home.

Three months or so sounds like a reasonable time frame for him to get something sorted.
I don't think any of the family are pushing to get him out immediately.0 -

They need to be firm but fair and explain to the son that they have a legal reponsibility to act in the best interests of the estate without bias. On a strict legal basis he has no right to be there now. There are all sorts of legal issues connected with having an unauthorised occupant. Also house insurance council tax etc.
I have learned the hard way that when it comes to money, family will act worse than strangers and take advantage of anyone who shows a slight weakness.
I fear I may have to give up on my inheritance as the legal bills and the stress are weighing me down.
So, moral is not to be too easy-going. Three months is ample time to at least begin the process of relocating.0 -
Don't give up. Why should you? You can have the squatter evicted and the costs deducted from their portion of the inheritance.0

Thank you for your kind words!!! We are not vultures, we do not want to remove him from his home and are happy to help hi. Find alternative accommodation. I believe my post was about who pays the bills, not evicting him!!0
