Our title was changed from Joint Tenants to Tenants in Common behind our backs, by mother in law without our knowledge or approval. We were not even notified only found out by overhearing a conversation. We agreed to pay mortgage for building second storey on her unit on grounds it will be 100% ours. Now that it has been changed for another party to get her third do we still have to pay mortgage ourselves even though mother in law in on mortgage papers taking us at trust to make the repayments yet changed title without telling us. We now will have to sell and move once mother in law dies as third party will want the money. Can we now request she controibute to the mortgage or alternatively sell and get out as the whole situation has been a nightmare. Thank you

Good Afternoon,
Yes that was the original agreement. We did not receive any notification of the change whatsoever. She thought we would never find out. I overheard a conversation between her and her estranged daughter who talked her into doing this behind our backs. She was estranged from her daughter for 10 years and I made it extremely clear to her solicitor that I did not wish to build if there was the slightest chance of the daughter coming back on the scene or that UI was fully guaranteed the title could not be changed. We have paid the mortgage for 6 years and my mother passed away last month whereby I have been on LWOP and asked for a deferrment on the loan to which she did not agree but got her solicitor to serve documents on us on the misunderstanding we wanted to borrow more money NOT just have a deferrment. It has been 6 years of slander and gossip and my husband and I just wish to be out of the situation.

Sorry but the screen kept freezing. What is your answer as far as our now having to continue to pay mortgage. Has she a responsibility to pay third as per documents. How did she change title without our knowledge. Have we a right to make her now pay her share of mortgage. It is no longer original agreement So Why shouLd we pAy all now that agreement of NO title change has been done without our knowledge
Good Evening,
