I would hire an attorney to make sure that you properly serve the parties in question here, which would be the original home owners and any lender. You would probably start with a 30 day notice and then if they fail to leave then you would file a Summary Proceeding for eviction. Service is very important in these matters and the case can fail if you do not start it properly (service of the 30 day notice I mean). Good luck.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
