Just wondering if anybody can give some advise on the following situation.
We have been to numerous solicitors and they are seem to be telling us different stories, so if anybody has some past experiences like this one I would be very interested to hear.
My Mam has been living in her house over 23 years, she has paid the mortgage furnished it and collected the keys when it was ready, the only problem is when my mam's house was bought she was not in a position to get a mortgage so her sister took one out in her name but it was my Mam's house to everybody involved as she paid the bills and done everything with it.
Her sister lived with their parents until they passed three years ago and her sister received their property worth 750K mortgage free and the rest of the siblings got invetsments and stuff like that, my mam was left 25K but never received a penny as her brother contested the will as he was not happy he did not get the house in the end he was awarded 200K in the High Court. My Aunties solicitor then informed my mam she would not be getting any of her money as this went towards his fees, we have since learned this solicitor has now been struck off.
Now my aunty is sending my Mam solicitor letters saying she has xyz to get out of the property as she is selling it as it is her home, she has sent numerous letters with just blatant lies on them that she lived there and so on, this is not true and she has never spent one single night in the house.
The house is worth 360K and has a mortgage of 8K o/s, my mam has paid the mortgage since day one and all the bills are in her name. My mam is also sick at the moment and is up the walls as she does not know what is going to happen.
Has anybody any advise on this one?
Many thanks
