Q: Is there a way to get a family member out of my mothers home? I do not live there and the family member is over 21
My mother could call the police but they could go away for other legal troubles. How can i make the other memeber leave?
There is another person there as well who should also leave,( for several reasons)subleasing a room but it is not in writing
A: Does your mother want the person to leave? As a practical matter, if your mother owns the property it's up to her who lives there, not you, and you cannot do anything about it unless (1)your mother is elderly and this person is abusing her or taking financial advantage of her, or (2)your mother is not of sound mind and a guardian is appointed to manage her affairs and get this person out. If your mother is of sound mind and wants the person out she needs to begin an eviction process (formally called forcible entry and detainer proceeding) through the courts.
