He is an older man who was the boyfriend of the decedent, and may be showing signs of dementia.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">There was very little money or assets in the estate other than the house. There is a DSHS lien, property taxes owed, creditor claims and costs of administration.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">While he was initially cooperating, we listed the house for sale and got an excellent offer and a back up offer. Unfortunately, the beneficiary then sent a certified letter indicating there was NO WAY he would ever leave the house. Both the offer and the back up offer were rescinded.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">We tried to connect him with a reverse mortgage broker but he wouldn’t proceed with the process. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Now he is getting more confused and we have become concerned about his well-being. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">He seems to think it is his house and we should just leave him alone.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Any suggestions at this point? The only thing I can think of at this point is to evict him and sell the house. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">He will receive a good chunk of money if we could get this done.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Does someone know an eviction attorney in Pierce County that we could hire or that we could speak to about options?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thanks in advance -</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Amy</span></div><div><br></div><div><div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; line-height: normal; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div><font face="Lucida Calligraphy"><i>Amy J.
