An owner of the property can not be evicted by another owners. Basically, you own the whole pie, but when it comes time to eat/distribute the sales proceeds, you get only the percentage you own. No can one owner charge the other rent. But until the property is probated and title is switched from your father's estate to all the sisters, you are not on title.
