my grandmother passed away 50 years ago and left no will. she had 2 sons and my father who was living with her before she passed with my mother and 4 children, has lived in the house ever since.
He has never put the house in his own name and has lately started this process , his solicitor has started probate to clear this up. His brother , they are now 80 + said he would sign a document to waive his rights to his share of the house. He has now sent my father a solictors letter asking for a payout of €15000 before signing anything.
My question is does he have a right after all these years to anything? Can my dad or mother claim squatters rights ?
Should his solicitor advised him of this?
