family and living situation

[OverwhelmedMuch]

My dad borrowed money from my great-gran on my mums side to buy a house, to avoid all the tax he signed it over into my name never paid a penny back and has been renting it out and spending this money gambling and generally dossing around in pubs. Last year when I found out I was pregnant I asked if I could rent the house off him so he got his tenants out in jan and was decorating it but asking me and my mum to pay for paint, re-plastering and a new bathroom suite amongst other things. A few days before I gave birth my mum and brother kicked him out for his drunken violent threats of burning he house down with my brother in it and he moved into the house himself. They have all made up now and are playing happy families whilst myself my partner and baby are still living with my mum and brother. My dad has said we can only move into the house if I sign it back over to him but I really begrudge doing this as he has never attempted to pay back what he borrowed to buy the house and never contributes anything to my mum. My great gran and grandpa would not have worked hard all their lives if they knew only he would be benefitting from it. What would you do?

I don't know if it's just me but I find it really hard to understand what's going on from your post...

its not just you

It sint that hard to nderstand.

SO, the house is in your name, yes? Evict him and move in yourself! Wait until he is out, change the locks!

*it is that hard to understand.

Although my typing is!!

If the house is in your name, he's lucky that you are even paying him rent at all.

But, if you evict him, you will have a nasty legal process to contend with.

Perhaps, if he's as nasty as he seems, then you should rent somewhere else. I realise that's not ideal with a tiny baby, but maybe better than the current situation?

Another point which occurs to me is that if you "gift" the house to him, you will have to pay capital gains tax, as if he had sold it to you. So, definitely don't do this.

If the house is in your name, just boot him out and move in.

Thanks for your responses sorry if its hard to read I just wrote it really quick to get it off my chest.

If the house is in your name, can you sign it over to your great granparents and they can sell it to get back the money owed to them?

My great-grandad died and my great-gran has slowly deteriorated and made my mum power of attorney telling her to make sure my brother and I were looked after. My mum thought him buying the house was an investment for the family. He thinks he is entitled to the house as buying it was his idea, he is only motivated by his greed.
