Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

I inherited a house from my mother, in her last staged of cancer my niece talked her into signing half the house over to her. Last December my niece moved into the house. She can't afford her half of the motygage or the bills but expects to stay here anyway with me paying everything. How can I get her out.

You have a few options, assuming you can't reason with this person:

1. You can offer o buy her half of the house. You can refinance the house (in your name solely) and give her her 1/2 of the value of the equity.

2. You can petition a court to force the sale of the house (called a partition). The house will be sold, the mortgage paid, and the remainder split between you two.
