Q: I need to know if I have any options and should I move out of the house?
My grandfather got me an house to live in. I have paid the mortgage for over 7-10 years. My grandfather died and my father took over the house. He refinanced in his name. He was able to do that because his siblings signed over the rights only if the house remained mines. The mortgage on the house I live is now in my fathers name. I still continue to pay on the mortgage. There was no contract agreement. No legal terms. Each year nothing comes to me even if it was an excess on the escrow. I do not get to report this house on my taxes. I now have a boyfriend that he doesn’t want me dating and he has threatened to evict him but not me and my children. My boyfriend is not a bad person but he is a convicted felon who is employed and actively working daily. I’m a manager for a corporate financial institution. My children are also well taken care of.
A: It looks like your father can, if he knows what he's doing, evict all of you, including your boyfriend. The two of you probably should start looking for a different place to live.
