Sister refusing to move, contentious probate

[Peaches1407]

Hi there, I inherited a property 3 years ago from my dad who passed away. The property was left to me and my sister, our names were on the deeds as joint tenants. Ive severed the tenancy so that we are tenants in common. My sister who has been living in the house by herself for all this time is now refusing to move and won't buy me out. She was also PoA whilst dad was ill and then executor and has taken the cash etc without declaring it. Am I able to contest the probate and force a sale of the house by law?

Hiya, well after threatening her with legal action she has come around. It will take time for her to find somewhere else but hopefully she's moving out in the near future.

Excellent solution imo Peaches1407

Good for you, @Peaches1407. She’s behaved appallingly and she knows that she’ll be in trouble if it’s investigated.

@Peaches1407 so glad to hear she has decided to move.

My Dad died recently( Mum died 2 years ago). My brother , 54 has lived in the house owned by my parents since birth and contributed very little since adulthood. My parents wills both stated that we are to sell the house and split 50-50 when the time comes.
My Dad went into a care home with dementia 8 months ago and my brother was asked to pay £200 a month into my Dads account to pay the household bills. The care home costs have been met from my Dads savings which have dwindled over the 8 months.
I have found out that my brother has only paid the money into my Dads accounts twice in the 8 months.
He works but does cash jobs and has paid no NI or income tax for more than 15 years.
He has a gambling habit and smokes weed so any money he gets goes on that and I presume , food.
When ever I mention his future he gets upset and plays the wo is me card.
When the house is sold, with the money, I would like to be able to take early retirement as I work in a high stress sales role and am struggling due to health issues. Can I force him to move out?
I know it’s going to get ugly but he seems to be living in cloud cuckoo land thinking he can live in Dads house and not have to pay his way.
What can I do?

@Suzywong1966 I think you need to start a new thread as this is an older one. You'll get more help. Good luck.
