Many older people live in homes that are legally owned by someone other than themselves and face eviction from that home when the owner dies.
You may live with a spouse or partner who has children from a previous marriage. The home you live in may be in your partner’s name only. You may find that when your partner dies, the adult children from his or her previous marriage want you out of the home you have been living in. This can happen if your partner has left a will leaving the home you live into those children who then become the new legal owners of the property.
One of your own family members – such as a sibling - may own the home you have been living in your whole life and may leave that property to someone other than you in their will. This can be very distressing if you have nowhere else to go or if you can’t afford to live anywhere else. This brochure tells you what you can do to avoid this happening to you. It also tells you what you may be able to do if it does happen to you or someone you know.
