Eviction Legal Steps Explained

Summary

In Louisiana, a daughter can file an eviction lawsuit to remove a housekeeper from a family estate. If the housekeeper has a legal claim, a partition lawsuit may be necessary to divide or sell the property. The daughter can also negotiate to buy the housekeepers share. The process can take several months to over a year, depending on the estates complexity and court schedules. Consulting a local attorney is recommended for a precise timeline.

Hello ****, there's no strict character limit for your messages. However, for efficient communication, it's best to keep your inquiries concise and to the point. What legal issue can I assist you with today?
I am writing a book. An elderly man died and left his housekeeper (who is not a relative) */* of his estate. He left his daughter *%. His daughter moved into the mansion and doesn't want to sell it. The housekeeper, who is causing numerous problems, refuses to move. What can the daughter do to get her out of the house. She has offered to pay the housekeeper her share but the housekeeper still will not leave.
In Louisiana, the daughter can take the following legal steps:
- File an eviction lawsuit. The court will decide if the housekeeper has a right to stay.
- If the housekeeper has a legal right to the estate, the daughter could consider a partition lawsuit. This divides the property physically or by forcing a sale and splitting the proceeds.
But the daughter doesnt want to sell. She wants to live in the family home.
If the daughter doesn't want to sell, she can consider buying the housekeeper's share of the estate. This could involve legal negotiations and may require a resolution in court.
How long would this take-it's a very large estate with lots of antiques, collectibles, valuable coins, guns, etc.
The timeline depends on various factors including the complexity of the estate, the court's schedule, and the degree of cooperation from all parties. It could take several months to over a year. It's recommended to consult with a local attorney for a more accurate timeline.
