A: It’s very likely the investors can sue your mom. And she will need to spend money and hire lawyers to defend herself. You are the reason this is happening. So if you don’t want them to sue your mom, move out. Say sorry. And everyone moves on.
A:
If your mom sold her house to investors with a stipulation that the house be vacant and you moved back in after the sale, the investors may have grounds to pursue legal action against her for breach of contract. However, the specific circumstances and the language in the contract would be crucial factors in determining the investors' rights and potential remedies. It is essential for your mom to consult with an attorney experienced in real estate law to assess her situation and advise her on the appropriate course of action.
