Transfer Of Ownership

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR HOME IF YOU DIE?
The law specifically deals with the treatment of park homes where the home owner dies. If the home owner was living with his/her husband or wife when death took place, then the surviving partner can inherit the home and the rights for the home under the agreement with the park owner. In this way they can continue to live in their home on the park. Under these circumstances no money should change hands and equally no transfer fee will be payable. This applies also for people living together as husband and wife. [HB13]

A member of the home owner's family who was also living in the home when death occurred may also inherit the home and the rights of the agreement and therefore continue to live in the home on the park, so long as this does not contradict the park rules or terms of the agreement - for example, the family member should be within the age range permitted on the park. The law carefully defines who counts as a member of the home owner's family. Under these circumstances no money should change hands and equally no transfer fee will be payable. [HB13]

If no family member was living with the home owner when he or she dies, then the person who inherits the home will have the right to sell it on the park but will not have the right to live in the home with the benefit of the agreement themselves.

GIFTS OF PARK HOMES
The law allows a home owner to give away his park home and pass on the benefits of the agreement to a member of his family, as defined in the Mobile Homes Act 1983 subject to certain conditions. Under these circumstances no money should change hands and equally no transfer fee will be payable. [HB12]
