Occupation Orders
Advice on occupation orders and who can live in the family home from Sanders Witherspoon solicitors in Billericay, Essex.
About Occupation Orders
An occupation order can regulate who lives in a home and how it is used in relevant family circumstances. It is different from deciding the final ownership of the property. Eligibility, existing occupation rights and the effect on the people involved need to be considered before an application.
Key Points
- Provide ownership or tenancy documents for the home.
- Explain immediate housing and safety concerns.
- Distinguish temporary occupation from a final property settlement.
How We Can Help
We review the family and housing position and explain whether an occupation order may be appropriate. We help identify the evidence required and consider related protection or financial issues that may need a separate legal solution.
