Q: My father passed away in early November 2023. I've filed with the probate court to be named administrator. What else?
theres another sibling involved who is still residing in the home and I need them out. Water and electricity are shut off and it is uninhabitable. How do I get them out of the house? What are my next steps?
A:
Here in Ohio the answer depends on a number of factors. Being appointed the administrator of the estate is a good first step. If the sibling has established residency you may need to commence eviction proceedings to get them to leave.
All in all, I recommend sitting down with a qualified attorney to review the situation and advise you.
Best of luck.
