Hire an OK attorney to determine potential heirs. Those actual heirs have a right to occupy the premises, and sue for possession from anybody else.

If he has permission to be there, then he would have to be removed like any other person who had a legal right to be there. You would have to evict them from the property. Since he is there by permission, the 'squatters rights' or ownership by adverse possession is defeated - he will... View More

If that piece of land was not part of the trust, then it now has to go through probate. There’s nothing else than can be done now.
It was a verbal agreement that she would remain in the home until she passed, or no longer wanted to live there. I recently discovered that she transferred ownership of the property to her son? Can I take this to probate court or has to too much time passed?
