My mothers partner has been diagnosed with Dimentia, left her and moved in with his son. My mother has been with her partner for over 20 years and cared for him post stroke for 14 years.
His family have now contacted my mother saying they wish to sell their house. My mother is close to 70 and does not wish to sell the house. The money from the house (50%) in its condition would not allow her to purchase another property.
We are worried his family can force a sale for any price (he has stated that he needs the money for holidays) and my mother would be homeless. The property is a joint tenancy but his family has stated they will contact the land registry and change this to common.
If anyone has experienced a similar situation the advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
