Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

real estate executor rights

as the executor of my recently deceased parents I have the job now to prepare the estate for a sale. my problem is my brother who has not paid any money towards the estate has been living there. I have now found that he has sold many valuable furnishings that belonged to my parents. My question is do I have the right to kick him out of the house as he is not a paying tenant?
