My mother here in England died three years ago,leaving her house to me as her only child but with the proviso her second husband could live there free until his death.Eighteen months ago he began to show signs of dementia and has now been admitted to long term care.The house is now empty-it became in need of repairs while he was living there but he was unable to do anything due to his illness.I really want to sell but it seems I can't as,despite his dementia,my step dad is in good physical health so will be around for the forseeable future and the will still stands.I'm worried about squatters-I've already had police get rid of one-and don't know what to do. My step brother wants to move in ,living rent free like his dad but he's in and out of prison,is a drug addict and has been evicted from various places for dealing so I definitely don't want him there.There are major repairs such as a new roof needing sorted in the very near future but I can't afford to pay for something that's becoming a white elephant.I can't rent it out to anyone according to the legalities of the will so I'm stuck.Any suggestions?
