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.

I read your previous thread OP, he sounds like an absolute twat! I can’t offer any advice unfortunately, but I just wanted to say I really really hope this gets resolved in your favour as soon as possible. It sounds ridiculously stressful and not what you need in your life. Keeping everything crossed for you 🙏🏻

So your solicitor can say that it has not yet been established that he has any claim at all on the estate and any money awarded to him from the estate at this stage would not be recoverable.

How can a judge possibly award him anything under those circumstances?

Hopefully they won't.

Thank you
