Beneficial Interest And Occupancy
Summary
Edwards 50% beneficial interest grants him non-exclusive occupancy rights, but mutual agreement among co-owners is ideal to avoid disputes. Unjust enrichment principles suggest beneficiaries cannot benefit from his contributions without fair compensation. Consider mediation, consulting a solicitor, or seeking a court order for disputes.Full Conversation
