What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
My 92 year old grandmother was visited by my uncle and his wife, whom she hasn't seen in 35 years. They were staying at her house and will not leave. They began to pressure my grandmother to put the house in their names but she refused. She became worried and moved in with my mother, leaving them in the house. They changed the locks and everytime she goes there to try to get some of her belongings they call the police.
We were told that we had to go to get a laywer to remove them, but she is eldery and on a fixed income. We were also told that this is a landlord/tenant issue but they have not paid rent nor is there any written agreement that they should pay rent or purchase the home. Is there any way that they can be removed legally without getting a lawyer?
