Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Can she kick her out?

Who holds title to the house? Assuming it is your grandmother, subject to any leases, she decides who lives there. Do you think grandma is mentally competent? If not, was your great aunt made her guardian and/or her designee under a power of attorney? If no power of attorney exists, and assuming no one was appointed by the court as her legal guardian, you should probably seek the advise of an attorney. I suggest that you might want to investigate the possibility of having your aunt appointed as her legal guardian. If grandma is still competent, she can grant your aunt a power of attorney. If she already granted your great aunt a power of attorney, then as long as she is still competent, she can probably revoke it.

You should schedule a formal consultation with a� lawyer.� A good means of obtaining an attorney referral is by contacting your State's bar association or your local county bar association.��� They probably have a web site and charge a nominal fee for the referral.� Most attorneys either provide a free initial consultation, or charge a nominal fee.
