So, my parents allowed me to build a home on their property as a “ shop” according to the county. That was 14 years ago. I have nothing on paper. Now they are selling it for a million and moving to Tennessee. They are not giving me anything when it sells. Is there anything I could do legally? Or am I screwed?

Your parents must be interesting people. Consult an attorney in Oregon. You could sue for adverse possession and/or unjust enrichment if it added value to the property. Depends on state law.

My buddy says that OP "the right to remove the building materials he paid for, unless his parents are willing to compensate him for his labor and materials..."
|
|
I know the answer but I'm prohibited from giving legal advice.

|
What have you been doing with all the money you saved by not having a mortgage or rent for the last 14 years?
|
|
|
Sounds like you are screwed. In 14 years you should have a nice savings account. Tennessee is full and has reached the state quota of liberals

Just another example of exercising freedom (of a sort, in this case) and hoping it all works out, while ignoring the nit picky details.
Does the home look like a shop? Does it have a well, or is it tied into the main house? How about electrical power? Did the parents visit? Are they escaping more than the state? Cutting the apron strings you won't release? |
|
OP I think after you show the buyer your deed to the land you purchased from your parents, the building permits you pulled when constructing your home, and the certificate of occupancy issued to you by your county building inspector, you will be fine.
|
|
Why wouldn't they offer you a fair amount for the shop?
Bad blood of some sort? |
|
We're going to need pictures of the shop to give any sound advice.
|
|
Call the tax man and have the property taxes recalculated.
That will show them. |
|
OP we need to know why your parents cutting you out of this deal.

It’s a 3 bedroom 2 bath house that I spent $175,000 on. I was told the property would be inherited to me. Sure, I saved some cash but I wasn’t saving like I needed to buy another house.

An unpermitted mother in law house didn't contribute squat to the value of the property.
