We have an elderly aunt whose has moved in with another relative due to failing health. She has a life tenancy on her mobilehome and the property it sits on (several acres), with her son and DIL owning the property until her death. For over 20 years she has maintained the property, paid taxes, insurance, etc. AND helped her son and his family while struggling herself financially. After our aunt moved out of the mobilehome, her son and DIL went into the home and started "cleaning" it out before she could get there, moving items, and disposing of others. Then her son and DIL signed their interests over to THEIR son who now wants his grandmother (our aunt) to remove her mobilehome, at her expense of course, so he can build a new house on the property.
Questions: 1) when does lie tenancy end? and 2) is this scenario a form of elder abuse? We are very concerned our aunt is being pressured and manipulated. Thank you.
I agree, I do think it's time to contact an attorney, maybe one who specializes in elder law, to kill two birds with one stone. Hmm, good analogy!
Thank you for your response!
