Areas of Law / Property

Twenty years ago I gifted my house to my daughter. I had a 60 year lease, but several years later my daughter got into financial difficulties and asked me to pay rent. I forgot about the lease and signed a tenancy agreement. Now my daughter is evicting me. Have I signed away my rights by trying to help her?

If you took legal advice when transferring your property into your daughter’s name 20 years ago you probably won’t be able to challenge this and may have to move out. It’s not clear what the lease is; it’s unlikely you gave your daughter the property and leased it back from her, so I take it you owned the property leasehold as opposed to freehold. That won’t affect your position now. I think you should discuss your predicament with a solicitor urgently.
