I was wondering if you could give some advise. Or point me in the direction of someone who can help. 

My mother in law is currently squatting in her late mothers house. Probate on the house due to complete by next month and her brother is determined to sell up to release his share of the money (they are due a 50% split) the house is worth between 80k to £140k (it's a very rundown 3 bed semi in Salford) so after costs is looking at a share of 30k to 60k (not enough to buy her own place) shes 59 this year and is in bad shape health wise, she has arthritis, has a stroke a few years ago and is currently off sick due to mental health as a teaching assistant.

She is effectively homeless as is and will be homeless once the house she is in is sold. Yes she will have some money but not enough to purchase and a mortgage is unlikely due to age and illness. There is no where to afford rent at least not big enough to accommodate her possessions and that of her late mother she insists on hoarding.

I think she could apply for council housing but I've heard her moan before about the size of the place she would get, I can't do this for her. She has a partner that is going through divorce proceedings and is due some extra money but knowing him and his lack of financial sense it won't be a lot maybe an extra 30k but thats not until his divorce is sorted 6 months at best 2 years at worst.

What can she do, she's currently being stubborn and wants to stay in the house which just isn't an option and we can't take her in we don't have room ourself. We are already in the process of moving to our new house and I don't want her on my doorstep in 2 months time taking over my new house with her junk.
