A: If your friend put in his will that you can stay on his property, it likely means that he intended for you to have the right to reside on the property after his passing. However, to understand your legal rights and the enforceability of the provision, you would need to review the specific language in the will and consult with an attorney to ensure its validity and your rights in this situation.
