Q: How can I get guests out of my home that I own that refuse to leave?
This property where I live was gifted to me by a woman with whom I lived here with for many years. The deed was put in my name by her in 2007. She passed away in 2010. A little less than two years ago her daughter and son-inlaw showed up here from out of state. They have been trying to stake a claim on the property. They feel that the property should be theirs intead of mine. They have settled into my home and are treating the property as if it were theirs. They reap havok with my freinds and relatives and tell others that the property is theirs. They have gone as far as to say that I should do the right thing and move on so they can enjoy their property that should have never been mine to begin with.
I have lived here for 22 years. I'm not about to go anywhere. I'm not going to sign over the property either. I need to know how I can set them straight and get them off from my property.
