As an executor of the estate, can I evict my sibling so that repairs can be made to the home for sale?
She has refused to move for over 6 months now and has caused damage to the home. Probate debts need to be paid but she not only will not leave but has also moved other people into the house who also are refusing to leave.

If rent is not being paid by the tenant you need to consult with a landlord tenant attorney in your locality to evict the tenant separate and apart from the damages caused. Such attorney can be found on attorneypages.com. I suggest eveiction proceedings be started immediately.
