Adverse possessionAzalia [8 Posts]  Hello, I was just wondering if anyone had any information (experience or can refer to a good solicitor) about adverse possession. I have a friend who's father died 3 years ago, no one did anything about the fathers home (sole owner). My friend has been caring for and paying for all home expenses and wants to know if they have any rights in this regard. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! elkam [690 Posts] 
I read your post and not knowing what adverse possession was I googles it. http://www.slatergordon.com.au/pages/stepstoanadversepossessiondispute.aspx Out of curiosity, may I ask, did your friends father die without a will and is your friend living in the house? Hope this helps   Terryw [6654 Posts]  I studied property law last year and from memory you need to be in possession of the property for a min of 12 years and there aer some other conditions such as the possession must be open, not secret etc. I can look up my law books if you wish. Terryw Azalia [8 Posts] Thanks for the help! I will let my friend know to contact a lawyer. Seems that is the best way to get it wrapped up. I dont know if there was a will, but I assumed not since nothing has happened. In any case, if their is one the lawyer can tell her what to do if one exists, or if it doesnt right. |
