Sister wont leave parents' home

DS (sister) bought land with her new boyfriend after her divorce and moved into our parents little house with her son while waiting for planning, which still hasn't been approved 1.5 yrs later (it was turned down and waiting appeal). DS has bought several pets despite being told not to, contributes nothing on bills/rent while showering boyfriend with gifts (luxury hotel weekends, designer clothes, etc), buying horses etc, and is generally rude and moody on the verge of abuse. Covid has delayed things further and now she has broken her ankle my elderly parents see no end of this. Even worse, her boyfriend is refusing to help DS leaving everything to my parents who are vulnerable and need to isolate for their health. They desperately need to sell their home and mum cries every day as she sees no way out. They are becoming very old and frail and I am worried their health may deteriorate very rapidly if this is not resolved by the end of the year. I am.looking to move house but cannot afford anything big enough for all of us.

Does anyone have advice on what they can do to get her to move out. They have offered to pay for a place to rent for six months but she refuses. The main issue is her son is only 9 and they love him obviously but he is used as emotional blackmail.

Your parents are not prepared to do anything about your sister, so nothing will happen. It is pointless you getting involved at all.

Option 1) Put the house on the market. That will force the issue. Explain to Dsis if this does not happen, she will be expected to step up as a carer when things go downhill for your parents.

Option 2) Dsis moves in with you. The pets don't come and you make it clear it's for a limited time and rent will be forthcoming. Use that time to sell parents house so she can't move back.

Option 3) Wait for the health crisis.

Thankyou everyone. I am really grateful for all the advice and without going into detail I think that my sister has done enough now to push at least my mum into selling as soon as she is out of her cast. Dad will go along with whatever anyone wants and my.sister cant stop the house going on the market.

@digestive28 they are late 70s. Dad is taking my sister to hospital tomorrow. I am really worried as last time they went a drunk man coughed all over them in the carpark. On again boyfriend is "too busy"..

The ABC have thought about sister moving with me. Husband will divorce me lol. Sister has caused enough heartache over the last 30 years, even tried to ruin my wedding!

Your mum categorically does not need to wait until your sister is out of her cast to put the house on the market. That's just a stalling tactic.

Parents shpuld tell her move out or get written out the will.

horrible thought, but do you think sister is hanging in there hoping your parents will pass away, and then she will try to stay in the house as its her home
