Re: Kicking Daughter Out Of House
Finding yourself unable to help your own children is always a very difficult thing. It is very hard on every mother, but she is not 'superwoman' and must also protect her health.
The legal part is very simple. The daughter, if over the age of 18 with no lease or rent paid, is what we lawyers call a 'licensee' and she can be removed by a court order. You can get in front of a judge within 12 days and the order can be made then. No prior 30 day or other 'notice' is required.
This is a very technical area of the law and having a lawyer is helpful. Particularly in this case, where there is a close relationship (mother/daughter!), a lawyer is very much recommended.

Verbal leases are considered month to month. Even without a formal agreement it is best to proceed through eviction. A notice to quit must be given and then if they fail to vacate, you can go to court. I offer free consultations.
