the house of a deceased illegally occupied for more than 2 years
The house of a deceased woman has been squatted for more than two years in the town of Auzeville-Tolosane, south of Toulouse. Without a designated heir, it is impossible for the applicant’s family to initiate an eviction procedure.
For two and a half years, the house of a deceased has been illegally occupied in Auzeville-Tolosane. The occupants, a family of six or seven including children, took over the premises shortly after the owner’s death.
The deceased has no children and the inheritance procedure is still blocked, according to a member of her family, which prevents the designation of a new or a new owner for the house. Without an official owner, nobody can, in theory, seize the prefecture to ask for the eviction of the squatters.
The situation has therefore been going on since 2019, and the family of the deceased is growing impatient. “ I’m disgusted “Says a family member who wishes to remain anonymous. ” It was a large farmhouse of several square meters with a story, and now everything is ransacked “.
The man says he was able to talk to the occupants of the house. ” They told me that they knew the laws and that they intended to stay until they were kicked out. “
I understand that there are housing problems. Life is so expensive, people find themselves in dire straits. But it is an infringement of property rights, it is not normal not to be able to evict them.
Desperate, one of the deceased’s family members affirms that he asked the mayor of Auzeville-Tolosane to cut off the water and electricity in the house, but that he then changed his mind. advice from his lawyer, to prevent this from ” falls on it “.
” We can not do anything. The town hall and the gendarmes know that this house is squatted, but in theory you cannot lodge a complaint because you are not the direct owner of the house. », Deplores this same member of the deceased’s family.
The man, who has not come to the house for over a year, says he still intends to go to the gendarmerie during the week to try to change the situation.
