Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
i think there is a statutory time limit, if the family member has just moved in then they can be evicted. however if they have lived there for a long time then they are fine. its to stop people "grabbing" property from the local authority.
your mother wont be able to keep up the mortgage payments as the local authority will grab every penny. this leaves the family member to either settle the mortgage or be forced to take out another.
if there is a mortgage on the property then the lender usually wants the mortgage settled when the person dies or even goes into care depending on the type of mortgage so the family member has to get a new mortgage. they cant just take over the existing one.
