Asked to move from relatives house

[OrangeBlankets]

I've been living in a relatives house for more than 2 years. When I moved in the relative was in a care home but the person who had POA for them agreed for me to move in and said it was ok for a short time and that I didn't have to pay rent.

Now the house owner died and so did the POA. The executors want me to move out.

I don't have anywhere to go, can they evict me?

I believe OP has offered to pay rent.

That doesn’t help if there are several beneficiaries and the house needs to be sold so that the estate can be divided.

Thank you - I had not realised this, but it absolutely makes sense - thank you for explaining

The dead relative was your grandmother. I presume there are more (grand)children, otherwise they wouldn't ask you to leave the property. You've lived rentfree for 2 years, have younsaved up? Then now maybe you can buy the others out?

Try hitting “See all” on OP’s posts. This will help explain her financial situation.

Well she could afford to get a dog.

Oh well in that case she must be loaded. 🤦‍♀️

@SheilaFentiman , you were right, I didn't read the update about her finances. So she didn't work, didn't save. But.......I guess the other heirs aren't rich either, and could well use the money of the house sale? She has lived there for 2 years rent-free, I think it's only fair to share now?

FAYK the beneficiary of the OP's late grandmother's Will might be a charity

Sure. And I don’t think OP means to try and keep it from them.

IMO, she posted unsure of the process, and in a bit of a panic, and lots of posters took that for selfishness rather than stress. It seems like she has recently got back on her feet with a job, and would now be in a position to pay rent, but of course the executors need to sell and distribute the proceeds. Yea

Dragging it out won't be a smart move. Any costs incurred to forcibly remove you would be billed against your grandmothers estate. That won't go down well with your family. Furthermore if anything is left to you they could probably successfully sue to have any costs offset against your possible inheritance amount.

Well yeah @Mynewhome do you know how much it costs to buy a dog? Food? Worming? Flea treatment? Vets bills, leads/harness/bowl/bed/poop bags etc etc etc, it’s never ending!!!

plenty of dog owners don't bother with most of the items on that list, sadly.

Oh behave..

Dog costs can be anywhere between.. my most recent puppy, £1000; vax, £80, collecting him probably £40 in fuel, probably around £300 on toys and food.. and thats just the first few weeks. Transferring ownership on his KC reg, microchip detail change, insurance, training classes (yep, I go to training classes even when I run my own).

Or my friends... £50 out of the paper, spare lead and collar from a friend, cheapo food from the supermarket plus freebies of toys and treats etc from friends.

You do not have to be loaded to get a dog. It does help, but having a dog does not automatically equate to having money or spending it.
