Well are the mom and step dad alive? If so it is up to them. If not then it depends on the executor of the estate and the court.

What ownership interest do your stepsiblings have in the property? If they are on the deed of trust, then yes. Else, no.

Is your mom still living? Is your step dad still living? Do/did they own the house together? There are several different situations and unfortunately, I do not have enough of the facts to answer your question. Feel free to contact my office to discuss further.

How old are you all? It sounds like the children need to have a sitdown chit chat with the parents.

Whoever owns the house can kick you out. You don't have any vested right to stay there just because you were related to the owners.

Not unless your mother and stepdad are incompetent and they have either a power-of-attorney or a conservatorship over them.

They can do it I suppose if the owners don't object.

Yes. Possession is important. Who owns the house? They decide who can live there. Is Mom still around and cogent?

Not enough information to advise you. Who owns the house? If it is rented, who is on the lease? What do your mom and stepfather have to say about it? Consult a lawyer and be sure you give him or her all the facts. Good Luck.

Maybe. Are they the conservators for your parents? Do they have a durable power of attorney? Are your parents dead and you have been living there rent-free. Yes to any of those questions and they have the right.

Without more information, this inquiry is difficult to answer. If your Mom and Stepfather are still alive, and they still have control over the house, the answer is no. If they are no longer in control of the home (death or otherwise) and the home was given to the siblings without provision for you, the answer is yes. I would advise you to seek legal counsel in order to fully answer this inquiry.

If it isn't their house, then they have no "standing". But they may be able to talk your mom into it, or have her sign a power of attorney by which she delegates the legal right to act.

Is there a will? Is your mom your blood mom? Who owned the house before it became hers? Who is supporting her? Is she alive? Is she mentally competent? I can argue this in two ways, one in which you can stay in the house and one in which you have to go.
