Re: help me!!!
You are not a co-owner nor a Tenant. Your parents gave you permission (license) to live there and may revoke same.
They can also sell it and/or do a major project with out your approval or permission.
You pay the bills because you are receiving the benefit of living there.
Re: help me!!!
You may have rights in the house, but if you've been living there with the permission of your parents, and they have been the title holders all of this time, and paying the mortgage, they are the recognized owners of the property. If you would like to meet for a consultation to discuss your situation and options feel free to call.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
