Hello from Kingston Ontario, hope all are fairing well with the snow.
I have done a lot of reading on Common in law and property/house rights for Ontario</ST1. I also understand unjust enrichment but keep in mind this has nothing to do with this question..
My brother just sold his house in which he has lived in for a while and is the sole owner. He is now in the midst of buy our father’s home for the price he got for his older home. He will be the sole owner. He is in a common in law relationship but she is not contributing anything towards the purchase. . He went to a lawyer and explained what he was doing. This lawyer told him that his common in law partner would not of had any rights to his old home but because they are together when he is purchasing this house based solely on that she would have rights to make a claim on this house if they did separate. This is contradicting to all I have read. Is this lawyer wrong?
Thanks for any help.
