Hi everyone,
I found a thread from last year that was very similar to my own situation. Some great advice was given so I'm hoping that some of you may be able to help me.
My brother is living in my mothers home. She was living there too until last year and he was supposedly caring for her and the property. Mum was uplifted by police as she was being neglected and the condition of the house was disgusting. Mum was diagnosed with Altzheimers disease and is now safely in care. I hold the EPOA along with another brother.
The problem is that the offending brother is still living in Mum's home. He isn't paying any rent and is not maintaining the property at all and its condition is getting worse. He drinks a lot and becomes aggressive and will not answer the phone and it has gotten to the point where myself and my other siblings don't want to go there at all because of his verbal abuse. We have sent him a letter asking him to pay rent or leave, giving him 6 weeks to reply. There was no reply and he wont answer his phone. We need to clean up the property and sell the house to help pay for Mum's care and the property expenses. I am currently paying for these myself.
I'm at a bit of a loss as what to do next. Mum's lawyer suggested they send a letter but I honestly don't think that would achieve anything. Should we send an eviction notice? Apply to family court? We need him out so we can sell. Any suggestions will be very very welcome.
