My dad shared his house with a dead beat. Dad had asked him several times to leave and he wouldnt go. It would blow over and deadbeat would stay. They would get along for a while. Dad would not take the legal action to make him leave. Dad was allways saying this guy took his money or ate his food or borrowed cloths and didnt return them etc. Origionally, dad let him move in as a tenent. Dad didn't keep any records but the guy only occasionally paid any rent. Eventually dad had to move back into his house and they shared the place. I can't prove most of dads accusations but I believed him. The dead beat is being real polite with me now. We've discussed rent and he's started paying the utilities. It probably makes business sense to get rent from him cus the house will need some fixing up before it could be rented to anybody else. But I don't want that son of a #@&@ es money, I want him out. He took advantage of my dad for years. I've not asked him to leave because I must have the legal stuff in place to make it happen. I wish I could through him out and seal the house and not let him remove anything so I could go through his things looking for stuff that belonged to dad. Dad wrote 2 checks the day before he went into the hospital. $50 to the lady that took him grocery shopping and $150 cash. We found dads wallet with $2 in it. He never spent more than $40 on groceries. Dad's estate is small and does not require formal probate administration. I am doing the functions of a personal representitive for dad. Can I bring action to evict the deadbeat? Or do I have to transfer the property ownership first. I'm in Indiana. The heirs are just me and my brother.
