Can I legally evict my brother?
My brother is living in my mother’s home now. He was released from prison 1 year ago and I let him stay there. My mother died 2 years ago and her estate is still in probate. She actually gifted her estate to me causa mortis. The utilities are still in my name and I have paid the property taxes.

Assuming you have the right to be in the unit that you occupy to the exclusion of all others then you can legally evict your brother by giving him a thirty day notice of termination of his occupation of the unit. If he refuses to leave after the thirty days, I suggest that you consult with a landlord tenant attorney to further assist you in the matter you are writing about.
