Relatives Plotting To Take My Grandfather’s “home” That My Parents Legally Own - Usa-mn

Card image cap

My parents bought a foreclosed home for my grandfather to live in, all in cash. My grandfather helped chip in a little bit while my parents paid the rest including repair costs. The house is my “grandfather’s” but the house is in my parents’ name legally. I don’t know if they ever came up with a “rental contract.”

The house has appreciated by a lot and my relatives are plotting ways to take the home when my grandfather passes away. My grandfather is not dying btw. They believe that they are entitled to the house in the future because my grandfather chipped in so it’s “apart of his estate” and they’re entitled to the money he chipped in including the appreciation value.

My parents believe my relatives won’t be able to do anything since the home is in my parents’ names. Is this true and will my parents be protected in case my relatives try to somehow contest it in the future?

By the way, my aunt sent one of her teen sons to live with my grandfather due to bad behavior. Will this cause any tenet rights issues? My parents didn’t approve of them sending their kid to live with our grandfather nor did my grandfather really want to take him.
