How much notice do I have to give my sister-in-law to move out of her parents house?
She has been living with them for the past 10 years and has not paid anything to help them. We need to sell the house to afford the assisted living.

If you are not a power of attorney, any notice you give is unenforceable. If she is a tenant, you must give her at least 30 days' notice if she is not paying rent. If she is not a legal tenant (guest), give her some time to move out and then contact the sheriff's department if need be to indicate you expect a civil escort will be necessary.
