Answer both (a) and (b) below: (a) Bella is the fee simple owner of "Buena Vista" a house with extensive grounds. Five years ago, Bella, becoming elderly and frail, invited Helen, her housekeeper, to live with her at "Buena Vista". It was agreed that Helen would assist Bella with the household chores, keep the grounds tidy and care for Bella as the need arose. Bella was to reside at "Buena Vista" rent-free and receive a stipend. This stipend was less than the wages Helen previously received from Bella. Bella also told Helen "you can stay here as long as you like, I won't put you out." Helen moved into the house with Bella and kept the house and grounds tidy. She also made significant repairs to the house during her stay at "Buena Vista". Helen also took care of Bella as needed. Bella died in January, 2016. In her will she left her interest in "Buena Vista" to her son Dylan. Dylan has asked Helen to vacate "Buena Vista". Helen contends that "Buena Vista" belongs to her and refuses to leave. Dylan seeks your advice. [30 marks] (b) Explain the term "bona fide purchaser for value without notice". [10 marks]
