His son the executor kicked me out I am disabled and I need my belongings I was promised by him prior that he would let me stay in the home. I'm devastated I don't know my rights.
A:
I'm very sorry for your loss. You might try the Legal Aid Office in the county where you are living.
You can also contact the Personal Representative's (Executor's) attorney and explain your situation. They may give you more time to find another place to live.
You may benefit from hiring a probate attorney to represent you and inform you as to your rights as a beneficiary and creditor of the estate.
