My family and I are living in a flat with my in-laws. They’ve been here for over 20 years, as their uncle had asked them to stay. The flat is registered in my father-in-law’s brother’s name. Now, with redevelopment looming, his brother is claiming the flat was only a temporary arrangement and wants us to leave. This could leave us homeless. I need advice on navigating this situation.

Based on the information provided, your in-laws’ long-term residency and the uncle’s request may create a claim of adverse possession, which could give them legal rights to the property. It is essential to consult a lawyer to explore legal options like seeking injunction against eviction, negotiating a settlement, or claiming ownership rights based on adverse possession.
