Update to AIBU to refuse Aunt's fwb claim on her estate.

[Sleepneededprettyplease]

Posting here because it is where I put the first thread.

A brief summery is that my Aunt died and her FWB is trying to say that he is entitled to part of her estate because she had asked me to allow him to stay in a house she had invested in for me. Anyway if you want the full story feel free to read what I put on the first thread.

Anyway the main thing is that he is now sueing in the courts. I need a bit of a hand hold please. My lawyers have suggested getting a barristers opinion so I am just waiting for that. I wouldn't even mind if it was possible to just go to mediation but he wants the house for the rest of his life and won't consider anything else.

The courts do, and I think on the day they told the parties to go out and come to an agreement the court would approve which is basically the other side backing down. Absolutely waste of money.

We will never understand why their barrister wasn’t able to talk sense into them, but I guess the solicitor wasn’t able to either.

I am glad you have informed the police - has he backed off since with the calls/messages?

Yes all through solicitors now although he threatened that he would be claiming more expenses from me because of that. It's highly unlikely so I'm not fretting that.

I'm sorry that others have had to go through this but glad it worked out for them.

God, he is such a weasel!
