Hi everyone, long time reader first time poster! not sure if im postig in right area so please advise.
My query relates to my grandfather's home. He has finally decided to do a will, and has asked me to look into certain aspects of his estate. he told me he wasn't sure who's name was on the deeds to his home, so I went to the land registry to check. The legal owner of his house is his grandmother ie my great great grandmother. The house was never changed over. This is the family home and he grew up here with his grandparents, parents and siblings. i have looked a little further into this and i was wondering can he claim adverse possession? It should be said that his parents and grandparents all died intestate.
Based on the rules of intestancy he would have to get his siblings and his 30 odd cousins to disclaim their parent's share. Not all of them would sign off on that.
Is there anything we can do?
