Question

IS THERE I WAY THAT I CAN TAKE STOP THEM FROM MOVING IN MY HOUSE ITS ON MY GRANDMOTHER'S PROPERTY AND SHE DIED NOW MY AUNT IS IN CHARGE OF HER PROPERTY.

Answer 1

You have to get the deed and anything, especially in writing or witnesses that prove that house was meant for you. Try first to put the house in your name. If they won't do that then take it to court and try to prove your case. Once the house is in your name you can evict the squatters, because that's what they'd be.

Answer 2

If there is no will, you have no legal right to the house since your Aunt owns the property. Your Aunt has no legal obligation to give you the house. Even though this is an incredibly mean thing to do, it is legal. Sorry.

Answer 3

Without a will, the house will go to your grandmother's children. Sorry. If you can get your mom or dad (whichever was your grandmother's child) or your other aunts and uncles to say that they witnessed your grandmother saying she wanted the house to go to you, you might make a case out of it -- lawyer up.

Answer 4

It depends who owns the property. My suggestion is to consult a lawyer about this. If your mother owned the house in fee simple absolute (again, a lawyer will explain) then died intestate, a court can determine how her assets are divided. It will depend on property rights. If she did own the house outright then her heirs (you/your brother) will be given it to divide amongst yourselves equally.

Answer 5

If it isn't on paper it doesn't exist, get a lawyer asap
