More details to this question:
Mother and father own 72% of a home they live on, their daughter in law paid off the mortgage of 28%. The daughter in law says she now owns 2 of the 4 bedrooms and wants to move in. My parents don't want her to. Can you advise what the law states in this circumstance?

Hi Leslye,
Their daughter in law certainly does not specifically own half of the bedrooms, but I would need more information to be able to give a clear answer on whether she has the right to access the property. Does the daughter in law actually hold a portion of legal title to the house? Is there any sort of agreement between the owners of the house regarding who gets to live there?
Thanks,Jon
