You can evict him. The procecures are simple and outlined in the JP court. You may or may not win if your authority to evict is not clear due to the probate.
Re: periodic, or month-to-month lease
You need to get with a lawyer. The action to oust him from the property is called a forcible detainer and it's filed in the JP's court where the property is located. But the probate involvement, rather than enforcing a lease, makes it legally complicated and not something you want to try yourself.
