Feeling out the situation might be a first step.
Or it could show his hand. idk.
According to OP there are
five squatters involved..
Any one could have 'special needs'.
That could lead to extensive bureaucracy and attorney fee$.
It could turn out the brother signed lease documents with them.
It could turn out they are legitimate.
Brother's estate. Brother's choich.
I'm just just putting out potential complications.
I knew someone in California who was subletting a nice house for a reasonable price, from someone renting from an old lady, who died. The estate was being managed by a faceless bank. The friend was in the process of moving overseas and considering subletting it again. The friend was asking $14K to relinquish her guaranteed month-to-month status. Considering local RE values, it would have been a small price to pay for the estate (which was significant) and while the market was hot. Consider what some Realtors
(tm) make for an hour's worth of paperwork from a single home sale. Some lazy chair sitter at the bank might have even signed off on it as a cost of business. But this has nothing to do with the OP's situation.
