    I've been Money Tipped!
    Very sorry to hear of your difficulties OP.

    Would your relatives take advice from an independent third party - I'm thinking of maybe a solicitor of their choice - so you can sort this out? This might be expensive and go on for a while, but it may enable you and your relatives to sort out the housing situation whilst maintaining trust.
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    If it is not possible to move them before their house is sold, how will they react to strangers coming to view their house when it is on the market?
