Squatters! NEED HELP!!!
Hello - my girlfriend and I recently took over a property owned by her now deceased
grandfather. Her grandfather passed away four years ago. There are two aunts that have
been living there rent free. We found out 3 months ago the house was going to be
foreclosed on beacuse the mortgage and property taxes have not been paid. We had a meeting
with the family and everyone agreed we should take over the home. We also agreed to give
the aunts 2 months to move out and gave them $1,000 to help make the move as easy as
possible. We brought all outstanding bills current on the home had a lawyer draw up papers
to have the property transferred. 2 months have passed, money all used up and they have
not packed up one box and don't plan on moving anytime soon. We have paid the mortgage
twice now. They never signed a lease with the grandfather and we do not want to keep them
on as tenants. Do we have the right to just kick them out? Some people have said that we
need to give them a 30 day notice but we already gave them 60 and money. We feel we are
being taken advantage of. What rights do we have in this situation?
