Hi all
New here so a)Hope i'm posting in the appropriate forum
b)hope i make myself as clear as possible as this is a very important subject for me
My situation is this; After 2 years and a few failed attempts it seems that i'm about to be granted planning for my principle residence on a plot of land at home. There is a background history in my family that makes me very nervous about the position i may soon be in.
The plot of ground is still owned by my father who has been reluctant to sign it over to me since I first applied. My mother died last year and since then he has squandered the money she left, something that he has done all his life, spent her hard earned money. In effect, he has never really had to stand on his own 2 feet financially and now I see the money running out in a few years.
If I do get planning, it will be in my own name but access will be as a right-of-way through my father's house. He has also mentioned helping me out financially in the building of the house. This gives rise to my concerns.
1) If the site is still in his name even though the planning is in mine can he use this against me if/when his money runs out?
2)If he has contributed financially to the building does he have a claim on it?
Not to be seen as emotional here but it is relevant; I promised my mother that I wouldn't see him starve, that I would make sure he always had food, light, heat etc. but would not give him cash as he has proven time and again that he cannot manage it.
Just worried that I could be held to ransom by him in the future. Can anyone advise?Thanks.
