My mother died 7 months ago and I have always lived at my parents address.
My father was the first named executor on my mother's will and I was the executor if my father was no longer alive.
Sadly my father had been diagnosed with dementia just before my mother died and I had to apply for permission through the probate office to take over the executorship and permission was granted. It was clear my father was not capable of being an executor.
This took some time.
The house is in tenants in common ownership and my mother's half was left to me.
Unfortunately I had to call the ambulance just before probate was granted as my father was getting violent all of the time.
My father was taken in to hospital and it was concluded he would have to go in to care after 40 days.
Probate came through a week after my father was in hospital and I registered myself as the joint owner in accordance with the terms of my father's will.
The Local Authority is now arguing I have no title to the house as I was not on the land certificate at the time my father was admitted to hospital and it will have to be sold.
Has anybody else experienced this type of situation?.
