A: Several legal points. He can only evict you if you are a renter. If the taxes were paid by you, you simply paid taxes on behalf of the estate. Did you RENT the property from the estate or your father? If you are not a renter, his action for eviction is due to be dismissed. You need an attorney. Go get a lawyer to handle this for you.
