Hello,
Just looking for a bit of advice if that is ok, I've tried to keep it short and sweet...
My mother transferred 34% of the deeds into her now ex-boyfriends name in July 2017. She paid for the house outright (no mortgage) cashing in half her pension and redundancy money. He made no contribution to the home whatsoever. November 2020 he moved out and signed a letter (with a co-sign from a witness) saying he will agree to sign over the 34% for £10k.
He has since got a solicitor involved and is now clamining for the full 34%. (£125k). I am aware my mother should not have signed this over in the first place, but by the sounds of it, he manipulated her in doing so as she was fresh out of the hospital from blood cancer and she was lonely. (I was unfortunately working abraod)
I (the son) have since found out she was/has been domestically and financially abused throughout the last 3 years. He controlled her on a daily basis through manipulation, isolation and harrasement. I am currently looking to see if she qualifies for legal aid since she is on disability allowance.
I have a got a solicitor involved but no one seems to know what will be the outcome and I am merely asking if anyone else has had a similar experience?
Many thanks
