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.

It seems cheeky fuckery has no age limit op.

I hope you get the bloody scoundrel out soon. .

Well this really. It hurts that my Aunt was so taken in and that he is disrespecting her memory like this.

Hi @Sleepneededprettyplease I've lurked on your thread as you've updated it but thought I'd just pass on the experience of a friend if it's helpful.

Essentially her father died and left his house to her and her brother. His thoroughly unpleasant gf who had lived in his house at the end of his life refused to leave and claimed that she had a right to inherit it. She hadn't made any contributions to the mortgage in the time she'd lived there, hadn't put any money into the maintenance of the property, didn't pay any rent to my friend and her brother once their father died, nor give any contribution to any bills. She was a nurse with a decent salary, no children of her own - she just kept 100% of her income and expected a free house. My friend and her brother basically kept the house going for two years whilst she fought them in court. She lost, and had to pay their £56k legal bill.

It was horrendously stressful, especially as they'd lost their mother only a few months before their father. But my friend said she didn't care if she was left with £0 by the end, she wasn't having the entitled gf walk away with all her father had ever worked for and that he'd specifically left to her and her brother.

All the very best - I really hope you get the right result.

Thank you. That gives me hope but I really don't want this going 2 years.

At least yours is more straightforward, in that he was (is!) living in your house and wasn’t living with your Aunt in hers. Fingers crossed it gets resolved quickly and definitively very soon.
