Dad left a will, upon his death,he stated in his will to evict his stepdaughter from his house. stepdaughter does
not have dad last name, was never adopted. Dad has 3 biological kids, and 1 stepdaughter who resides in his house
Dad made me exector of his estate, I'm his oldest biological
daughter. dad has 3 biological adult children, and 1 stepdaughter. Dad left me his oldest 1/2 of his 2 family house, and the other 1/2 to be divided among my other 2
sisters. He stated in his will he was diinhereting his
stepdaughter and upon his death, he wants the stepdaughter
to vacate the premises. As executor of the estate can I evict dad stepdaughter, which she refuses to leave the house
stepdaughter lives in dads house, but dad will state upon
his death, for her to vacate his house. Thanks

Re: my dad will says to evict stepdaughter from his house
Since the house is now owned by you and your siblings, even if the will did not say to evict her, you can evict her UNLESS she has a written lease. Give her 30 days written notice to vacate.Good Luck!

Give her 30 day's notice and if she does not move out, evict her.
Re: my dad will says to evict stepdaughter from his house
As a stepdaughter she has no inheritance rights through your father. The Will has confirmed this. As the owners of the house, you and your siblings have the right to evict her, unless she has a written lease. If she has no lease, give her 30 days notice to vacate and then you may have to sue in Landlord/Tenant Court to have her formally evicted.

Once appointed executor of his estate you will be authorized to evict her unless she has a written lease.
