A elderly woman and her son owned the property at first. Then she signed her name off and put me as 50% owner and him as 50% owner. He doesn’t live in the home now, but the women does and she has dementia. I wanna move my boyfriend in. Could I legally do it without the home being taking from me
You would both be the landlord (or the host if the boyfriend is a guest who pays no rent). If your co-owner's dementiz has advanced to the point that she lacks capacity to contract (for example, to buy a car), her agent under a Durable Power of Attorney or, if none, her guardian/conservator can act on her behalf and sign the lease (or agree to the invitation.)
