my younger brother and his fiancee have been living in a home purchased by my father. My father, his wife and her son are all on the deed. My father had verbal agreement with my brother..he would rent to buy and must improve the property. My father has since passed away and his wife has said she is selling the house. My brother and his fiancee have sunk thousands in material and labor) into the house (they are self employed contractors.) I have recommended he not try to buy the house but he should see if he can put a lien on the property to get back at least some of what they put in.
He lives in MA. What is involved in putting a lien on title?

Why have you recommended not to buy the house?
