  • Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) August 28, 2020 - Yale S. Hauptman, founding partner, Hauptman & Hauptman, P.C., was quoted in NJ.com where he offered advice on the administration of an estate in which a family member still resides in the home that was owned by the decedent.

    In the article, “Can I evict my brother from a house we inherited?,” Hauptman stated, “Assuming there is no specific language in the will of the parent whose estate you are the executor for that details what you may or may not do with the house, it is the executor’s right and responsibility to pay the debts, liquidate the assets and distribute them to the heirs. Any costs associated with eviction and paying the bills he refused to pay would be a cost of the estate and if you are successful in evicting him, you could seek reimbursement for legal costs and expenses from his share of the estate once the home is sold.”
