California
I'm a prospective buyer on a triplex (built in the 1960's) in San Pedro, a community of LA City. The property is held in a trust. The seller (wife just died and had rights to the property in the trust; but seems she didn't have will), who started probate to get the funds from the sale, wishes to stay in the property for four months after escrow closes on the sale free of charge while he goes through probate. Once probate is completed he says he plans to move out of the property. I heard from a real estate professional that this would not come under the city of LA rent control ordinance if the seller would pay at least a nominal fee to stay at the property. I could then evict him if he does not leave.
After the 4 month stay after escrow closes would I as the new owner be able to evict him?
