Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

Re: eviction

You son's father-in-law may not evict your son. Co-owners all have the right to occupy the property.

Your son may want to offer to his father-in-law that they have an agreement allowing more of the net proceeds of sale to go to the father-in-law to reimburse him for that portion [a percentage] of the mortgage and other payments that your son was not able to contribute to during his period of unemployment. Or, your son may suggest that his father-in-law buy out your son's interest now. That would permit your son to move and pay rent somewhere else.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.

Re: eviction

He can not evict your son because your son is a co-owner of the property. This does not mean, however, that he can not seek reimbursement for all or a portion of the mortgage payments.
