As Clutton says:
1) See a solicitor
2) Before doing so agree with your brothers what you want, whether:

a) Let him stay, but paying rent. As LLs you would then be responsible for repairs but not bills
b) Let him stay rent-free, but with him paying bills and/or repairs
c) Let him stay rent-free, with you paying bills and/or repairs
d) get him out of the house so you can sell it or rent it on the open market

Good luck!

Thank you all again.
I sent a copy of this forum(first 6 at the time) to my Brother who is the exsecutive, He replyed to me, saying that i should not of consulted any one on hre as i would not pick a complete stranger on the streets and ask there Advice. He also felt he was working on his own with this as my other brother is not of much use. And i my self will not go to the house as he said that stuff was going missing out of the house which belonged to him, Pointing his finger at me !! Anyway my other looked around the house and found the things that he said was missing but he as not appolgiesed for. And the other reason i dont go is he cant keep his hands to him self and has a dirty mouth. If i ignore him he tried to poke me with his stick or trys to trip me over with it. He was doing this also when mum was alive and she new about it, and was sorry for the way he behaved and said to try and keep out of his way. which i did as much as possiable, i still went to the house when mum was in the hospice and after she died to check that he was ok and to clean through for him. But he made as pass at me again the day after the funeral. I removed his hands from me and it was the day after that he said theses things went missing so i stopped going.
sorry for the ramberling and the spelling i am just upset by it all.
I emailed my Brother to tell him about this forum, How good people are and I always go on it, And that he should use it, As i have had very good advice in the past and that some of the people on here are proffecianls.(sp) sorry. He is not best pleased with me. I dont want to fall out with him about this, But i do feel that it is all wrong.
many thanks to all of you.

the best advice you have been given is - go to a solicitor - how can that hurt ?

walks

Yes I will, my Brother has said that he will TRY and get him to sign a
tenancy agreement so fingers crossed.

Thank you.

You family needs to see a solicitor before it does anything. Getting him to sign a tenancy agreement is NOT a good idea IMO.

If you do that, it may get hard to remove him and your three become wholly liable for the repairs and maintenance of the building. As soon as you become landlords the house has to meet statuatory requirements, which means gas certificates etc.

Did mum leave you enough money to keep the house repaired for the next ten years? if not, can you afford to keep it in a good state of repair?

""If you do that, it may get hard to remove him and your three become wholly liable for the repairs and maintenance of the building. ""

i cannot echo this more strongly - DONT sign a tenancy agreement until you have seen a solicitor

There are over 70 Different acts of parliament that cover being a Landlord... how many does your brother know about ? Failure to comply with some of them can attract a prison sentence....

I don't know, but thought likely/maybe the local authority would provide this man with sheltered accommodation should the need arise...
