Hi, my parents left my brother and I their house 50/50. He lives in the house while he's trying to get a mortgage. Yesterday after a year of avoiding the place (bad memories and depression being the main reasons I've not been before) I finally decided to drop in and look for some paperwork I need to find a job. Some of my furniture, soft furnishings, hundreds of pounds worth of wool and crochet projects, general nick nacks are there because I lived there looking after my parents until they died.
My brother won't let me look in any of the upstairs rooms, physically blocking me in the corridor. Won't let me into the garage or shed where he says he's put some things, after saying that he's thrown a lot away.
I don't want to invade his home, I don't want to search in secret but equally I don't want him hovering saying that there's nothing in there and getting in my way at every turn. Which is what I got yesterday.
He doesn't own the property and I'd like to search for my possessions. What rights do I have? If he's thrown things away can I ask to be compensated monetary wise?
2. How do I approach this situation?
