Case citation: Taunton v Taunton [2019] NSWSC 1513

The case we cover in this episode demonstrates how hard it can be for a parent to evict an adult child, even from the parent’s own home.

An adult son moved back home to live with his parents and provide them with care and assistance. When the father moved into residential aged care and the house had to be sold to pay for his accommodation fees, the son refused to leave. What did the father need to do?
