1. Our client, Sister Sue is living in the family farmhouse while her brothers work in the city. All three siblings are co-owners of the farm. Recently, the farmhouse had a major leak in the roof, and Sue had to pay for a new roof from her emergency savings. The new roof looked so nice that it started her thinking about other aspects of the house. She now has a yearning to breathe new life into the old farmhouse and has been reading design magazines and watching home improvement shows. She has seen many things she likes. The problem is that she has very little money.

• Explain to Sue what her legal position might be if she were to ask her brothers to contribute financially to the home renovation project. Give examples of a couple of things that she:

(a) may demand that they help her with financially, and

(b) may not demand that they help her with financially. (10 marks)
