Re: co-ownership of home

If you are tenants in common you have the right to live there. When the house sells some arrangement will need to be made about getting the stuff out. If you are there and using it, it only seems fair that you remove it (although, you should be able to keep it if brother does not want to help).

PS -- I suspect that removing your father's things will not take a month, unless you live in a very very big house and there is an incredible amount of "stuff."
