What is the name of your state? Texas
My mother passed away several years ago and left her part of her estate to my sister and myself....she was married to my stepfather so he owns the other half of the community property... he has a life estate in the house... he also was executor of her will, about three months after her death he moved out of the house and has not lived in it for about three years now...he also removed all the community property and would not give us anything that belonged to our mother and now his grandaughter is living in the house....my question is...does he owe us our mother's half of the community property and can we force him to sell the house being that he is not even living in it.
