Free baording lodger does not want to vacate premises
My husbands estate is nearly finalized, the property to be registered in my name but his friend does not want to vacate the premises, she feels she owns the property. She does not pay any of the utility bills or rent. She may be leasing part of the property without consent as well. what are my legal rights?

Regrettably you cannot forcefully remove him from the property otherwise it will amount to unlawful eviction. What you can do is to approach the court in the area where the property is situated for an order of eviction. The value of the property will inform the court. You can speak with your lawyer elaborately.
