Areas of Law / Property

I have lived in this house for 35 years without paying rent. When my father died some years ago I discovered my sister had made him draw up a deed of conveyance signing the property over to her son. What’s the position with my home?

If your nephew does own the house (you could check this at the Land Registry) he would need a court order to get you out, although since the transfer appears to have taken place some time ago it suggests that he is happy for you to continue to live there. If there’s any pressure on you to leave you should see a solicitor, since your status as occupier could be problematic: certainly if you’re elderly and have nowhere else to go the court may allow you to stay indefinitely.
