Aunt has died and her friend reluctant to leave her house

[JellyBook]

Our aunt died late November and she had a friend staying when she died. The friend lives overseas and doesn’t want to go (yet, she says).

Just getting a bit nervy about whether she will decide to stay even longer, and what problems that might cause. She has been left a lump sum in the will. The house and belongings are left to the estate to be sold and shared amongst various family members. Aunty leaves no spouse or children.

Do we have anything to worry about or should we just proceed with probate, sale of house and just tell her you need to make arrangements to leave?

Hope today goes well

How did it go?

Wow she really is a CFer

Hope you managed to get her out without any hassle.

Did she go with a fight? 🤞🏻

Without a fight I mean

How did it go yesterday?

@JellyBook Hope it all went well and the lodger has been kicked out good and proper!

Did She get out op?

Really hope it went OK

So did she leave peacefully?

Some people are greedy. I know of someone who was left a couple of grand but their half siblings weren't given anything. The parents of the half siblings got about £80k but they begrudged the £2k .

Having read through the thread, ever since the OP mentioned dementia - who goes to stay for months with someone who has dementia? That’s utterly weird and piss-taking! If the aunt wasn’t well enough for POA, she presumably wasn’t well enough to consent to “friend” staying for months on end either!

Just as well the solicitor seems to have her measure, OP - what a piece of work!

Hope she is out!

Op I am hoping you have your feet up glass of wine in hand celebrating the removal
Of the so called friend ... my thoughts are with you

What a wicked woman. Hope she is well on her way home.

Did you manage to get rid of her?

@JellyBook any news? How did it go? Hope all's well.

@JellyBook

Any news OP?

I think OP is sitting laughing at everyone’s desperation to know the outcome and has no intention of coming back. I wonder why?

No surely not? 

Come back @JellyBook........

Perhaps the nasty CF has killed her in a fit of pique

Unfortunately because Op didn't have her removed within a couple of days of Aunt's death she is probably deemed to have an AST. Getting her out may need to proceed to court, and perhaps the 'friend' knows it.

Shouldn't be an ast if no money changed hands.
