I know a couple who are very elderly but had been living very contentedly until about 3 years ago. Then one of their children aged about 50 had a very nasty split with his wife and asked the parents if he could move in for a few months.
Now 3 years later he drives them mad, dominating the TV for example, drinking through the night and basically living for free off them (pay nothing towards the house bills). Recently, quite amazingly, he has received free travel, free medical card and a "carers" allowance even though the parents (and I have heard this personally) have told him they don't want him in the house.
When the other members of the family raise this point with him he keeps saying the parents are not capable of living on their own and they need someone to "keep an eye on them". Stress levels in the house are very high, this guys is extremely manipulative and to an outsider he gives the impression he is a hero when in fact he is bleeding them financially and emotionally.
Question is, how do they force him out? Do they need to give him notice? Do they need to engage a solicitor? Any advice would be much appreciated.
