Spanish law query

[migrant]

We live in Australia and my MIL lives in Tenerife. She is very, very ill in hospital.
While she's been in hospital a male platonic friend of hers has moved into her appt and is claiming it as his own. Clearly we want to evict him.

Please does anyone know anything about Spanish law or how to proceed in such circumstances?

No, I don't. However, the British Embassy in Spain has a list of lawyers who speak English [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spain-list-of-lawyers here]. You could contact one of them. If your mother is a British national, you can also call the consular helpline to ask someone to visit her if there is no one else on the spot. It must be very worrying for you on the other side of the world.

sorry here

If she is very very ill, is anyone in the family going to visit her?
Who is going to care for her when she comes out? Who looks after her now?
Maybe that friend does not have bad intentions? If no one bothers going and looking after her, maybe its a good thing somebody is there to care for her?
Am sorry, don't mean to sound confrontational but I've seen this scenario before? Sometimes its hard to judge from such a distance…...
