My brother passed away recently, and he had a live-in partner/fiancee. Both of my parents have passed, and so did my sister. So that leaves me being his next of kin. The house my brother lived in was my grandparent’s house. He purchased it in 2021, after they passed away. We grew up in that house, and I have a massive connection to that home. It’s the only thing I have left of my family, I’m the only one left.
Since I’m the next of kin, I inherited the house. I offered his partner, let’s say his name is Steve, that he could continue to live there if he paid the mortgage and the property taxes. Similar to renting. Steve said he couldn’t afford it, and asked for me to sell instead. He requested information on the kind of profits he would be receiving/inheriting from the house. I told him even if he wasn’t living there, I inherited the house, I won’t be selling and he won’t be inheriting any money from it. He demanded that I sell, and that he would take me to court over inheritance. I pleaded to his sensibilities, this was my family home, he was my only connection to my brother left, and he refused. So I offered to pay for an apartment for him for a year, since I’m also my brother’s named life insurance beneficiary. Steve demanded everything, including the life insurance, despite my telling him I’m named. I told him he wasn’t getting anything, and needed to leave my family house after he threatened to take me to court a second time. He refused, so I filed for eviction.
AITAH?
I was also told to add to my post: Steve and my brother were together for 6 years, engaged for 2 prior to his death. My brother and I had talked a few months before his death about how sure, they were engaged, but he was probably never going to get married (not sure if this was due to the new administration and concerns around how the same-sex marriage law may change, or if their relationship was rocky). 1 year prior to my brother’s death, he got a new job and named me as his life insurance beneficiary. After they were already engaged. Common law doesn’t exist in my state, and Steve never paid into the house at all. My brother paid all of their bills.
I paid the mortgage on my family home for the last year, and just recently talked to Steve after the estate went through probate. I can’t afford to pay both mortgages regularly.
