Hello, you definitely have to speak to a lawyer to make sure all the steps are done legally and correctly. There are certain laws that apply to people that stay in your home for a length of time and it can be difficult to get someone out. Go down to the court house and file your case and a lawyer will be assigned and you can get the process up and rolling. Good luck!

Ginko,

You need to speak to an attorney about evicting your brother. Call the local Bar Association (Kings County Bar Association) and ask if there are any pro bono attorneys that can answer your questions. Perhaps the local law library (usually at the courthouse) has a packet on evictions you can purchase and would know if any legal clinics will be held on the subject.

Real estate agents cannot give you legal advice.
