Brother-in-law refuses to vacate parents’ house — what to do?

My sister’s husband is living in our late parents’ house and refusing to vacate it. Both our parents and sister have passed away. We were three sisters, now only two are alive. My brother-in-law is forcibly staying in the house. What legal steps can we take?

Since your sister has passed away and the house belongs to your parents, you and your other living sister have legal ownership. Send him a legal notice to vacate. If he refuses, file a civil suit for possession and eviction in court. Keep all property documents ready to prove your claim. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
