QUESTION
Two beneficiaries to property; brother (nonbeneficiary) squatted at prop
Asked on Feb 03rd, 2018 on Trusts and Estates - New York
More details to this question:
My brother and myself inherited property in New York but our other sibling (nonbeneficiary) has been squatting at the prop for years and hasn't paid a dime while living there. The sibling has disappeared a few months ago (mail and papers are stacking up), locked up the house (we don't have a key). We both have spoken to our sibling and they claim that they will be back to the house when they are good and ready. What are our recourse to remove their belongings from the house?

If you agree that he is still living there, then you need to formally evict him in court. As you have an equal right of possession, I see no reason you cannot enter the house and take possession too.
