Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
I lived in my mother's house for years and was her caretaker due to her Alzheimers. My brother is legal guardian and a court appointed attorney is the financial conservator, When I went out of town - my brother put her in a nursing home temporarely - then decided she should stay permanently. He told me the conservator said I had to move out, they never gave me a date - I never heard anything from the conservator, the address is on my license, I receive mail there, lived there 13 years. Isn't there a legal way they have to do this? Brother is guardian, but the conservator is over her finances, the house isn't even yet on the market. If I moved in for a couple of weeks- to save money to move - what can they do? Who is my brother to tell me this when I have received nothing from the conservator? This is my family home, I have no ulterior motives, not after title, whatever. When my mother is gone, everything goes to my brother & I 50/50 per her will. I only want to move back in until the first of January, Any advice? The house is paid off, if that makes a difference.

You're a tenant at will and must be given 60 days notice. At that point you must move.
Your post is not clear at all, but if you do not live there, and it is not your house, no, you have no legal right to move in. If you do live there, you can be given notice to leave and then evicted. Hopefully families do not have to resort to either trying to force their way into a property that is not theirs, or evicting a family member. "What can they do" is not the right question or answer.
