Gaining access to the estate info

Sally_jenkins

They are indeed.

She now says she wants to stay in my mums house. She hasn't said how long for which is frustrating but I thought I might try to find a document to sign whereby we agree she can stay until a certain period after we receive the grant letters (not even begun this process yet). Does anybody know where I might find a document to tweak which says she can stay in the house but must assume responsibility for it?

If possible the best and least costly solution would be for her to buy your share of the house. If she does not have the means to do this, you really have to play hardball.

Take your solicitor's advice - do not attempt DIY - if you get it wrong, you will create a rod for your own back.

You need professional help, your posts are confusing to me, over who / what / when.


If you want the house sold, then stick to your guns.


Offer your sister to buy you out at the market rate, get a couple of estate agents in to value the house.


If not get it on the open market to get it sold.


If your sister is going to stay there, you need to make sure she pays the market rate for rent to the estate, no if or buts.


You also need access to the house to 'check it'


Make sure it is insured, and all the bills are in your sisters name if she is staying there.

If she wants to stay she needs to buy you out. If she can't afford to do that, you need to be firm now. The longer she's there the harder it's going to be to winkle her out, even if you have relevant papers, without going to court. You'll be making more of a rod for your own back by letting her stay.
What advice did the solicitor give?
