Question of proper procedures in Ohio on evicting a person from their home. No rent is paid, person has lived on the property nearly 22 years per request of her mother and has paid utilities and has kept up the property. She was just told by her youngest son that she has to move by the 17th (we are thinking the 17th of April) and that he has signed paper work selling her family homestead. No formal eviction has been done and unsure of how this works as for "landlord and tenat" issues. The house is being sold quickly as to her mother is not doing well to avoid probate court. She once had ALL durable power of attorneys for her mother until this last December when she decided to move her mother to a facility that specializes in AD and Dementia. Her younger sister and her own son convinced her mother into signing off on her powers and her son took control of the financial and her sister the medical. Her mother has stated repeatedly over the years that she is to keep the house but this was never put into writing. The younger sister wants the money.
Does the son have to file court papers to evict her? What if he doesn't and the new owners (who will tear down the home to add to their business) take possesion while she is still there - do they evict her or just move her out?
Thanks for any input.................
