Right to buy deceased tennant.

All the OP has said is that thy were not on the tenancy agreement. The phrase 'it was our home for 45 years' strongly implies to me that they have lived there for most of their life, if not all.

A few comments seem to be people getting on their high horse and forming opinions without knowledge.
Yes I live at the address for two reasons. Firstly my mother needed care. Secondly my marriage broke down. But I have not lived there long enough to be on the tenancy.
You DONT have to be a tenant to be a joint applicant for RTB as direct family members can apply and there is a space on the form to do so.
My mother applied and I was going to fund it. Firstly to adapt the home for her needs and those adaptions would be suitable for my disabilities upon her death.
Although she had Cancer she died unexpectedly.
I'm not trying to get a cheap house I'm trying to keep my family home. I have MH issues and loss of the house would be detrimental to my mental health.
Had she lived longer my addition to the tenancy would have avoided this issue.
As I read Harrow v tonge it does support succession rights for those non tenants.
Does anyone actually have any valid opinions.
(Thanks to those polite enough to actually understand my request and its wording in the first place)
