Talk to your attorney. They will explain the time necessary for creditors to make any claims against the estate (usually six months) and the other tasks necessary to bring the matter to closure.

Talk to the administrators. They should have procedure for dealing with this.
I received an eviction notice, not from a court but from a property managing company. The notice does not state the reason for eviction and when i asked the landlord her answer was that shes evicting me because i dont clean, which isnt true.

There is a procedure for eviction for reason other than non-payment of rent. Retain an attorney to defend you if you wish to stay there.

For your own peace of mind, you might be looking for a new live/work situation. A restraining order will likely necessitate exceptions to allow for incidental contact at work/home and may be of little help to you.
