Q: My mom passed 7/17, and had no will. My brother became sole administrator to estate,. I as other beneficiary still live
in the estate (house). Mom had 2 children. As administrator, does my brother have the legal right to kick me out of house, even being the other beneficiary of the estate?
A: Yes, but there are things you can do. One thing you should do is become co-Administrator. Big mistake not to have done so. The administrator is supposed to liquidate assets. You can buy him out if you want to stay in the house.
