After graduating, he worked hard and made good money. He saved enough to purchase a house 10 years ago and was paying the mortgage by himself. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. He reduced his working hours to focus on his health, and I stepped in to pay the mortgage.\u201dHe went on explaining: \u201cIt was a hard battle, but cancer took him in March. After he died, his family suddenly reappeared, expressing regret for not being in his life. As time passed, a month ago, they reached out to me asking when they could expect me to hand over the keys to the house. I told them they can\u2019t have the house, because it is now in my name. I bought the house from my boyfriend a year after his cancer diagnosis, so it is legally mine, and I had been paying the mortgage long before that. They got upset and said I was being unreasonable, arguing that it should legally belong to them, and that my boyfriend would have wanted them to have the house.\u201dHe added: \u201cAfter some thought, I told them, \u2019You can only have the house under one condition: you would have to \u2019buy\u2019 it from me by reimbursing me for the four years of mortgage payments and take on the remaining debt.\u2019 They said they didn\u2019t have the money and accused me of being selfish. They proposed transferring the debt to their name without compensating me, but I declined. They got angry, and the discussion escalated to the point where they threatened to take me to court, accusing me of scamming my boyfriend to get the house. They have been calling and texting me non-stop for the past month, threatening me. I know they can\u2019t afford to pay me back for all the money I\u2019ve invested in the house, but I\u2019m conflicted. Some friends have advised me to give them the house and move on with my life, but it just doesn\u2019t feel right to me. I\u2019m leaning towards not giving them the house. I don\u2019t need it, to be honest, but I don\u2019t want to give it to them either. Am I wrong for refusing to hand over the house?\u201dOther Redditors chimed in to support him, leaving comments such as: Call the cops and say you\u2019re being harassed, because you are! You offered a very reasonable solution, they declined. Your husband wanted you to have the home, which is why it\u2019s in your name! Don\u2019t let them cash in on it. They didn\u2019t care about him when he was alive, they don\u2019t get his house! For context, I went to no contact with my mother and siblings about 2 years ago. They have known all I needed was an apology and I would let them back into my life. I would be pissed if they tried this after I had passed, but didn\u2019t try to make amends during my life. It adds insult onto injury. I would NOT want them to have my home. I would want it with someone who loved me unconditionally.If you give them the house now, then they benefit from him, even though they rejected him when alive. You keep the house, because you\u2019re the one who loved your boyfriend. You owe his terrible family, who kicked him out at 17, nothing!Firstly, I\u2019m sorry for your loss. Don\u2019t get into any further conversation with your boyfriend\u2019s parents. Just ignore them. If they think they are entitled to what is your house and your home, let them take legal action. If they can\u2019t afford this that is their problem not yours. Leave any texts you get from them as unread. Screenshot them and email them to yourself as a backup in case anything happens to your phone.You are in grief. Do not let them convince you of something you do not want to do. You owe them nothing. Your partner sold you the house, knowing how ill he was. He wanted you to have a stable place to live. He would not want you to give them the house you shared as there was a relationship with you but not his family. It will not honor your spouse to give up what he made sure you would have, especially since they only want to claim property after his death, but made no claim to him while he was alive. Keep your home. They are not family to you or to him. It is too late for a relationship between him and his family.If he wanted them to have it, he would have given it to them and not sold it to you. They\u2019re just being greedy and manipulative. Block them or maybe mute them so you can keep record of their harassment should things escalate further.If they wanted his house, they should have at least seen him while he was dying. It wouldn\u2019t be respectful to his memory to give them the house when they never showed an ounce of regret in his lifetime. Also, the actions of your late boyfriend show that he cared about looking out for you. He wouldn\u2019t have transferred the house to you if he didn\u2019t want you to be provided for.The anguish of losing a loved one, combined by the uncertainties of inheritance and responsibility, can create an overwhelming burden. This is the heartbreaking reality for a woman who, after the sudden loss of her husband, finds herself confronting an unforeseen dilemma.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
