A: If he is violating Florida laws or a probate court order regarding your duty as the personal representative, you can request that the court hold the sibling in contempt. It is typically an in-depth legal request, so you will likely want an attorney to represent you. Schedule a free consultation to make sure your options are all explored.

Linda Liang agrees with this answer

A: I agree with my colleague. If the court granted you the right to manage the property alone, you can motion the court to order him leave.
