Estoppel Question Advise Needed

[Tiger7861]

Me and my partner live in my parents house for 15 years now they want me out in the past on numerous occasions they have promised me and my partner the house but nothing on paper
The deeds are in there name and we have never paid any rent or mortgage but we have spent money on the property over 10 years about 15k . Do I have any chance of keeping the house or staying here we have 2 children the solicitor had advised me of estoppel saying that you parents have broken there promise?Additional DetailsI forgot to mention me and my husband are separated know he is saying that no promise was made I have a witness to the promise but we did apply for local housing housing register waiting for a house will that have any significance ?
As the landlords are saying one of the conditions of staying there was that you stay on the hosing register.
In other words we did not reply to our detriment can this act bee taken like this ?

The answer is engraved in the solicitor's desktop I would surmise, a big fat 'No Way' as you have no legal rights being divorced or proof of an oral promise.

Tyg Ok so realistically if during divorce I had told them this house was a gift then what would my chances be

they would still be Nil

Good gravy, you're not getting anything, you also can't go back in time to
lie and try to get something. It's done, you are not getting anything except evicted. Now get a grip and sort out some accommodation for your children.

[Psybbo]

Are the owners of the house your parents (in your OP) or your Ex's parents?

[woofgang]

lol DTC, I am neither an ed nor a mod...if I were, my answers on this thread wouldn't keep getting removed.

[Peter Pedant]

Blimey 500 answers and no further forward...

even if you prove beyond reasonable doubt there was a promise to gift you a house,
this in itself gives you no right to the house.

[ hence the importance of showing you ( and no, not your husband ] contributed to the house as that might give you some right ]

[woofgang]

ex's parents Psybs

[Tiger786]

His parents

Tyg your friend might be a doctor but if he gets involved in this charade in any way he wont be a doctor for long.....
