Legal Question in Family Law in California

My grandma passed 4 years ago and left her 6 kids a house. My dad and aunt chose to love into the house and keep it up. I moved in after that for school and continued after that living there. Recently my aunt has been trying to get my dad to leave and has packed my stuff up but I still come home on the weekends. My belongings are there and my pets are there. My dad pays rent there and she has put a alarm on the house and will not give any family the code nor my dad that lives there and says she want him to leave. Is what she doing legal and how can I take legal action?

You and your father need to consult with an attorney in person. You have several issues and it is not clear which is which. First of all you state the grandmother left the house. If this has gone through probate or transferred pursuant to the terms of a trust, your father would be an owner as a tenant in common or a joint tenant. But you also mention that he is paying rent, which would imply that he was a tenant. (A tenant with a landlord is not the same as a tenant in common.)
