Im co executrix with my sister of mom's will. I moved into mom's house after she passed a year ago. The Will has been through probate. Can my sister make me move
It depends on who the beneficiary of the house is. If it is both of you then you'll probably have to fight it out in court.
My sister is the other co executrix with me. She agreed I move in mom's house after she died. Now she wants me to move out. Can she make me do so
If you are a beneficiary, then you can live there; however, until the will is actually admitted to probate in Court it is not valid and no one may act as executrix.

I personally think it would be hard to find a judge or jury that would believe someone didn’t know they weren’t paying rent for 7 months. That being said, there might have been other things the landlord could have done instead of keeping a tenant in default for over half a year. I would talk... Read more »

If she has been charged with assaulting you, yes you can file suit against her in civil court. Because it was an intentional act, her insurance would likely deny coverage, so she would need to have non-exempt assets to go after to collect a judgment. Was the rental you were evicted from her home,... Read more »

I have painted every room in the house and a lot of work outside too. Can she evict me and harrasse me?
Yes, the owner can evict you if she follows the proper legal procedure. There are also legal steps you can take that will delay the actual eviction date... but this type of litigation will not be good for family relationships.
Consult an attorney who focuses on "Landlord-Tenant" law.
