My mother in law died not long ago and left her house to my wife in her will.Two years earlier my mum in laws dad advised her to put the title deeds to the house in his name because she owed the tax man £1000 pounds and was struggling to pay and was afraid she could lose her house.
Now my wifes grandad is refusing to change the deeds and hand the house over to my wife saying its legally his.
The wifes really upset not just because of the fact that she helped pay for the house for her mum but also that her own family would do something like this.Is there anything we could do?

I would say it is definitely worth fighting for. Call an attorney right away. Since she did pay for part of the house, she has rights to it. Good luck.

I had a similar situation happen to me, I legally owned two thirds of a property and my mother owned one third, I employed a solicitor and started fighting the case, the stress it caused was really not worth it and I eventually backed down and allowed my mother to have everything, I lost around £80,000 but it was worth it to keep my sanity. My mother is now just a very lonely old woman, I haven't seen her for over 6 years - her gain was also her loss.

Get an attorney to advise you it would be well worth the money. This house is the legacy intended for your wife and her children.

At the time of your mum-in-laws death,the house was not hers to leave to any-body,as the deeds were in her father's name.It's extremely mean of him to take advantage,but i reckon the house is legally his.You cannot leave property that is not legally yours to any-one.You could try the lawers,but i think you would be wasting your money.Sorry.
