I Put My Dad’s Widow Out of the House — It’s Not a Free Hotel
Inheritance issues can get messy quickly. After Daphne's dad passed and left her the house, she asked her stepmother to either pay rent or move out. When her stepmother refused, she evicted her. But what seemed simple took a surprising turn when an unexpected twist came to light, leaving Daphne confused and looking for advice.
This is Daphne's letter:


Hi Daphne! Thank you for sharing your story. We’ve prepared 4 pieces of advice that can help you.
Review legal options regarding the apartment deal.
Since the agreement about the apartment involved you indirectly, it’s crucial to see if there’s any legal recourse. Talk to an attorney who specializes in estates or real estate to see if you can challenge the terms or argue that the situation has changed.
This is especially relevant if the deal wasn’t fully transparent when the house was left to you, as it affects your inheritance. Understanding your rights in this situation might give you leverage to negotiate with her or her son.
Consider mediation for a compromise.
While emotions are understandably running high, a mediator could help you and your dad’s wife reach a middle ground. Perhaps there’s a way to work out a new agreement where the apartment could be split in some form.
Even though she plans to leave the flat to her son, a mediated conversation might open the door to a shared solution that could give you both what you want while preventing further animosity.
Use the emotional connection to appeal to her sense of fairness.
Your dad’s wife has clearly been in a defensive position since she was forced to leave the house, and it’s likely she still harbors feelings about that. You could try having an open, honest conversation with her, focusing on your connection to your father and the betrayal you feel.
Appealing to her sense of fairness, and emphasizing how this outcome wasn’t what your dad would have wanted—especially given how the apartment deal played out—could shift her perspective.
Accept the situation and focus on preserving your dad’s legacy.
Although it’s painful, you might consider accepting that the apartment is going to her son and focus on what’s left: your dad’s house. Your father’s legacy can live on through the house you inherited, and you could honor him by focusing on making it a special place in his memory.
This mindset can help you heal from the betrayal, and rather than continuing to battle over material possessions, you can focus on preserving what you do have of him.

Not gonna lie, that's pretty scummy of OP to kick out her mother-in-law when she's lived in that house for 18 years. Her not getting an apartment she knew nothing about anyway and did nothing to contribute towards just seems like the life lesson she needs to start being nice to others. She just sounds like an entitled brat
It wasn't her mother in law, it was her step mother...I think the step mom shouldn't have gotten so defensive even though she lived there for 18years, she knew the house was going to his daughter, that's why he bought another place in case the daughter wanted the house. She did ..it's not like the step mother had no where to go. I think the daughter was right to take what her dad left her and the step mother take what he left her. End of story, no one is homeless...
Not gonna lie ether but Starr Dhillon is right. On the other hand it would be nice of the stephmother to if she just said that there was an apartment where she could go to or trade if she had been living there 18 years I can imagine the emotional bond with the small house. OP should not be so greedy! If your dad was happy with your stephmother why would you treat her like that? Smh
You got the house and don't have to live with the guilt of throwing her out. What is your problem. Greed I guess. Your dad must have known you well to be so wise about the situation.
