Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

House sold and family members won't move out

My father's house is in escrow and it's closing in 7 days. His brother and sister have been living there for over 5 years, but have never paid rent and no lease agreement was ever established. The house was listed on 4/8/05 and his siblings were verbally informed on 4/9/05 that the house is for sale and they need to be moving out within 30 days. Neither of them have been packing any of their possessions to move out. What do I need to do to have them move out by the close of escrow? Is a 3 day notice to quit sufficient? Also, if they refuse to pack up their belongings can I pack them up myself and get rid of them? What other legal actions do I need to take to have them vacate the home before escrow closes? Thank you in advance!

they have the rights of any other tenant. You will need to go through the eviction process.
