of the removal and the unpaid monthly rent against the occupant’s share of the estate.

not a tenant and will need to be removed through an RCW 7.28 ejectment action. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>

removed but I am not sure this is the proper method/action.<o:p></o:p></p>
