Both of us are executors
Couldn't the deceased father's partner possibly be his surviving common law wife?

A common law wife/husband is not recognised in irish law
Really? I was told the opposite by my solicitor a few years ago. When I was buying my house as a single man the building society was insistent that I get independent legal advice from 2 solicitors vis-a-vis my rights and obligations in the future.A common law wife/husband is not recognised in irish law
****************"Unable to force him out due to family complications, so cannot go the court route to get out rights."
I have had this situation several times in my office. There are two stark choices for a client- do nothing and let the passage of time allow the situation to turn to his advantage. And the other? Issue Court proceedings. There is nothing like it to concentrate the mind. Yes, its drastic, yes, its upsetting but remember to ask the question - whose behaviour is precipitating the Court application?
Some of my clients have walked away unable to face the emotional fall out. Some have gone ahead and yes, the situation has been traumatic. But would it be any better if left alone?

Dreadful situation to be in. The law can't solve all our problems when it's like this unfortunately. However what he said about breaking him is a dreadful thing to do. It's not a level playing field when they start that. How is his health? Is he really likely to have a heart attack or is he manipulating you? people do awful things when money is involved.I got the legal bill recently for the letters the solicitor sent to him on our behalf. I was going to send the bill to him. (but never did).
Fear of how he would take it I guess. I still love him. We were so close it is hard to figure out how this can happen in families.

On receiving the solicitor's letter, his reply was for us to go ahead, and sue him, but if we did, that it would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
