Sorry I don’t think I was clear. It’s the deceased who has the ex-wife. The property in question is owned 50% by her and 50% by my husband and sister-in-law (25% each). The deceased (my father in law) had gifted his part of the home to his children several years back but retained “usufruit” During his divorce he “won” the ability to live in the main part of the home as it was his primary residence and his ex wife had been staying back in her home country. There are two secondary sections of the home. About a week or two before my FIL passed, she showed up and took over the main part of the home (no one was there to protect it) Since then we haven’t been able to gain proper access. The whole situation is difficult and we’re not having much luck getting an legal advice and since the ex-wife is on-site, she seems to have gained the upper hand. The bills in question are property tax and house insurance, eventually a notary bill and a lawyers bill, potentially an invoice to pack and move some items back here (if there is anything left). The exwife has her share of the property tax and insurance as well. It’s being split 50/50 at the present moment but she has taken on the utilities.
