[WSBARP] Estate/Unlawful Detainer Action

[Bess Derting]

I know this has been a problem for others but I have not yet encountered it.

Client is the PR of a solvent, non intervention estate for his father.
Will left everything "equally" to all 8 children. Client's sister lived
with their father prior to his death and has continued to reside in the
home for almost 2 years.  Sister refuses to pay rent, utilities, mortgage
payment.  Sister is a local real estate agent and will not cooperate with
the sale of the house.  The house must be sold to satisfy the mortgage;
however, no other agents will list the house until she is gone due to her
extremely bad behavior.

We served a 20 day notice on May 1 (she avoided service and then threw the
notice into the process servers face once he found her).  On June 1 I would
like to proceed, on behalf of the Estate, with an unlawful detainer action
to have her removed but I am not sure this is the proper method/action.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated to a very frustrating situation.
Thank you.

Bess
