My wife is one of three sisters who's father put his house jointly in their names several years ago. Her father died at the end of last year and her mother refuses to stay in the house opting instead to live with one of my wife's sisters.
Unfortunately this sister has done a lot of things to the detriment of the other two such as geting the property valued without their knowledge and then when she was found out. understated it's value by many thousands of pounds. The reason for this is that she wants her daughter to have the property but does not want to pay the true value. I do not believe that she can force a sale through the courts under these circumstances but I am not 100% sure.
If she is unable to force this issue I believe that she intends to move her daughter into the property anyway. Does anyone know what the legal position is with regard to this.
Many thanks
