Want to remove older sibiling form parent's home!
I have a 55 year old brother that has been living in a single room in my parent's Louisville Kentucky home, off and on for his entire life, but full-time the last 10 years or so. He pays no rent and has never paid any bills or provided any assistance on food or other bills. My father passed right after my brother moved in and all bills etc are paid by my mother, on a retiree fixed-income no less. My brother does odd jobs for spending change. One "job" is repairing small engines for mowers, weed eaters, chain saws, etc. THis has led to the accumulation of a large amount of parts and tools all over my MOm's backyard, porch and in the basement. He also tracks dirt and oil throughout the home & soils the carpets... no effort to clean up. The room he occupies is filthy and no one has the nerve to enter. In my mother's living will she appointed my sister to manage her affairs in case she cannot. In recent years my MOm has grown more and more despondent and now requires the assist of an in-home care giver 5 days a week all managed by my sister. In recent years there are indications of drug use by my brother and the presence of evidence indicating that he's allowed other questionable folks in the home. His behavior is also concerning and fear for our Mom's safety looms. My sister is planning to move my Mom to her home to better provide care and move her son in the home to ensure it's upkeep. Bottom-line is that we want him out and would like any feedback on the route to take. THE way I see it is that he's not a tenant (never paid any rent or other fees nor signed any contract or verbal for that matter but considers the home as much his and my parents) so we do not have to pursue this through the courts and simply demanding him to vacate by a certain date should be sufficient. LIkely we will have to involve the police and change locks but the way I see it, legally he has no rights to remain. I don't even think "squatters rights" even apply here. Hopefully there's enough detail here for feedback. Any advice is appreciated. :confused:
