Q: My father has advanced Alzheimer's and is bedridden in the Portland VA hospital waiting for an open hospice bed.
My uncle has General Durable POA over my father as my mother just passed unexpectedly November 29th 2020 and we need to sell their condo. My uncle is in Tennessee and my oldest son and his girlfriend are living there and she is refusing to leave without an eviction notice. They have never signed a rental agreement and have never paid a bill there. He moved her in quietly after my mother passed. I can't get in there to get the condo ready to be sold with them and their animals and her 5 year old son living there. What can we do legally to get them out ASAP? Thank you.
A: Time to review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney. Depending upon the exact details, you likely will need to file a lawsuit to eject them (as opposed to evicting them). Regardless, neither ejection nor eviction are do-it-yourself projects and are quite technical legally speaking. Good luck.
