My grand-father who sired 9 children died in 1963 leaving behind real estate and farm land without a will. My uncle's son has rented the property out without the consent of my dad or other siblings. My dad does not have a home and has been living with me. He wants to move the court to take possession of his father's property. In this regard, he want's to know -
1) By virtue of him being homeless, without income and old (77 y.o), will he get a priority in obtaining the procession compared to a regular tenat eviction process ?
2) Approximately how long does the courts take to issue judgement on such matters ?
3) Can he initiate a criminal case as his brother's son has rented the premises without authority ?
4) If a criminal case is filed, will it assist in the civil aspect of the case.
Kudos to the luminaries who respond with helpful info. !
