Help!
Grandparents died intestate (without making a will). There were several children.All deceased bar my uncle.
My Mother and Father resided in Grandparents house (caring for aged grandparents) and after they died, continued to pay all house fees and paid off house mortage over a 10 year period. They continued to live in house Mother for 16 years Father for 38 years.
Both of my parents are now deceased, Father recently. Father willed his estate to me. My uncle a survivng relative (brother of the Grandparents) now demands a share of the Grandparents estate and is demanding the house keys claiming that he has the right to do so and has either has or is seeking a Grant of Administration on the Grandparent's estate.
It is early days but now in the hands of a solicitor.
Do I have any claim on the house by long tenancy or adverse possession?
Can anyone advise do I have a Beneficial interest in the home where I would be entitled to at a minimum a greater share and can my uncle force me out of the home to sell?
Any advice would be most welcome.
