Hi all.
My father passed away in Feb 2011 and the house was left to myself and my 2 brothers. Due to a divorce, my brother moved back into the family home shortly before my dads death and has continued to live there free of charge. Myself and my other brother don't mind him staying there and we are not looking for rent. We want to give him time to get back on his feet. His support payments to his ex wife and 2 kids leave him with very little. However I am concerned that because we are allowing him to live there and charging no rent, that some day down the line he might be able in some way to claim the whole house for himself. Is this possible - something akin to squatters rights? Any advice please.
