How to legally remove occupants after House Purchase

There are occupants on 2 residential properties I'm negotiating to purchase that I want to remove. Property number one is a holdover tenant from the previous owner with 8 months left on their rental agreement. The person renting to this occupant was never legal authorized to rent to them. The house had been foreclosed on several years previously and the bank just never took completed the steps to take it back. The second property is similar in that the occupants are essentially squatting they neither have a lease or any rental agreement. I'm purchasing it from a law firm that was the holding entity during a lawsuit several years ago. How would I have both occupants removed from these properties? They are in Birmingham Alabama. Any useful advice from someone that has dealt with these sort of cases will be greatly appreciated.
