I live in Florida and my mother passed away. My 1/2 Brother was living in my moms house ever since she petitioned to bring him here from Quito Ecuador. She owned a duplex and it was rented out. My brother collected rent for 3 months and pocketed it even though i told him that the money needed to go to pay the mortgage.This all happened while i was waiting to get the letter that named me personal rep. I ended up making the mortgage payments out of pocket. He has been living there rent free now for a year and my sister and i feel he owes rent fom the date mom died to present.
My attorney says he doesnt know if we can make him pay back rent What the heck is that supposed to mean? He has stolen from the estate and is living there scott free. He is not even cutting the lawn. I feel totally lost. My attorney takes up to 7 days to return calls. I believe it is probably because this is a small estate and not really worth his time. So I need to know: can i charge back rent ? Can i evict him? How do you file charges of theft against an heir?
