<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Client is PR of estate; heirs are PR & her two siblings according to will. Only asset of estate is family home where Client’s two brothers have been living for free for some time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Probate is open and Client PR has non-intervention powers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Client wants to get brothers out and home on market before it goes into foreclosure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our plan is (I think) to provide reasonable notice to leave the property then file an ejectment action, however, the question has come up about whether it might be subject to the partition statute? Maybe this is just a potential affirmative
defense?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts would be appreciated. These scenarios seem to be coming up more and more.<o:p></o:p></p>
