Q: How much notice do you have to give a family member to vacate after a homeowner dies in Indiana?
My mom lived with my grandma, who recently died, for decades. The house was placed in a trust that is supposed to be divided between her and her siblings evenly. Her siblings now want to sell the home and are trying to kick her out immediately. I just want to know what her rights are.
A: I am sorry for your loss. If your mother was living with your grandmother and your mother refuses to leave the property, she will have to be evicted. That means going to the local courthouse, filing with the appropriate court and getting a court date to obtain a court order granting the trustee possession of the property.
