The loss of a significant other is an incredibly challenging ordeal.
However, it is often accompanied by financial disputes with relatives.
Here’s a story about how parents, who kicked their son out of the house nearly 15 years ago, returned after his death to claim the home.
The author wrote: “My boyfriend (30M, RIP) and I (33M) were together for 15 years. We met in high school and stayed together until a few months ago, when he passed away due to bone cancer.
I live in a traditional country. His parents kicked him out when he came out as gay at 17, so my family took him in, helped him finish high school, and supported him as much as they could.
After graduating, he worked hard and made good money. He saved enough to purchase a house 10 years ago and was paying the mortgage
by himself. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. He reduced his working hours to focus on his health, and I stepped in to pay the mortgage.”He went on explaining:
“It was a hard battle, but cancer took him in March. After he died, his family suddenly reappeared, expressing regret for not being in his life. As time passed, a month ago, they reached out to me asking when they could expect me to hand over the keys to the house.
I told them they can’t have the house, because it is now in my name. I bought the house from my boyfriend a year after his cancer diagnosis, so it is legally mine, and I had been paying the mortgage long before that.
