My father in law passed two years ago and my husband, his oldest child, moved our family to his home and became probate rep. Now that probate has closed, his three younger siblings have decided they do not want us living in the home and have given us one month to leave. The estate has been put in all their names, but they state that majority rules and we must leave if they wish us to. My husband feels horribly betrayed and doesnt wish to fight this. Part of me feels the same, but I cant help but feel that if he owns 1/4 of the property, they cannot kick us out any more than I could kick them out.
Please, no bashing or getting even answers, we are in a very bad situation, have no money for moving and no where to go. We have no money to consult a lawyer (unfortunately we live in a very rurally depressed area where free consultations are not given) and need serious legal advice.
Thanx
All the siblings agreed for my husband to be probate rep and that we should live there. We are not trying to "hog" the house. Two of them live over a hundred miles a way and the other 1800. We have been paying the mortgage on the home for the past 2.5 years and all expenses that come with owning a house and 40 acres. They have not even helped w/property taxes. That also came out of our pocket. We do not owe them rent, it is only that we were paying the mtg that the co hasnt taken it.

As they say, Possession is nine tenths of the law, not majority rules. Basically they have told you to get out, but they have nothing to back that request up right? If they want you out so that they can sell the house and split the money that is fine, let them know that you will make sure that the house is presentable and available to show, and once the sale goes through you will move. Until that time let them know that you are not leaving.
