Q: Re Opening Probate
My grandfather passed away last July. His daughter came in after he passed away. After I aged out of foster care. My grandparents took me in to finish high school. I tooK care of him and my grandmother before passing in 2014 since 2011. As still took care of him until his passing. I joined the Navy in 2017, while I was gone my Fiancé at the time took care of him. At the time of his passing, his daughter started to me, that probate has started and I had to move out. Taking it in mind I am military and that was my home. I lost my only home I knew as well my marriage. Before my grandfathers passing. He has me go to our local court to file an eviction notice, with his signed Permission giving me the right to evict my biological father from the property. Due to my grandfather health. I signed all his medical documents as well hospice paper work. I reached our to military for help. They stated it was none military. That was the only home I know. And cared for him for 11 years with no help.
A: Unfortunately unless there is a will stating that you may stay in the house the personal representative of the estate has the authority to force you to move out of the home and distribute it according to the will or statute if there is no will.
