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.

Surely if he leaves because he has/wants to then the OP is off the hook? She didnt kick him out, so it was his choice or circumstances that made him leave.

Absolutely not hoping he has a mild fall that is enough to scare him into moving out, but not enough to seriously injure him

Then you are nicer person than me. I wouldn't want him hurt. Much... But...

Keep trucking OP. Sounds like you’re moving towards sorting this permanently. Phew. Have a good weekend.
