QUESTION
What are my rights as a residence on a property in regards to unrestricted access for me and my guests?

More details to this question:
My wife, two teens, and myself have lived on "family" land for 15 years. Two years ago, about a month before my elderly father's death, my sister convinced him to put all the land into her name; despite his will that clearly bequeathed a portion to me. Now she has demanded that we move off the land; no problem. The problem is that she has posted a large no trespassing sign and has started harassing people that are coming to my house, threatening them with jail. She even called the sheriff on a 14 yr old boy for walking down the driveway to come visit my son. What rights, if any, do I have for free access to my home for me and my guests for the 30 days or so that we need to get our possessions moved of the land?

You know, you may want to talk with an attorney about the possibility of going to court and proving that your sister used undue influence on your father to change the deed.

The bigger question you should be asking is how you can get your inheritance. Contact a good trust and estate lawyer about arguing that your elderly father was incompetent when your sister exercised undue influence on him to contravene his will and deed the land to her.
