A woman whose partner of 25 years died this week has brought High Court proceedings over concerns his family may remove her from the home the couple shared. In 2009, she claims she moved into the man's house, a country house surrounded by 100 acres of land in the North West of the country. She said that in 25 years together she has never been accepted or welcomed by the man's family. She claimed that when visiting him in late December a member of the man's family confronted her and was aggressive towards her. In her action, the woman seeks various orders including injunctions against the executor of her partner's estate allowing her to secure the property, and restraining any person claiming an interest in the estate from trespassing on the property.
