Are you on the deed? Stop by the courthouse or city hall to find out who is on the deed of the house.

If you are not on the deed move out.

Talk to your local sheriff's office about procedures to get your uncle moved out (If you hold the deed.) You may have to give him 45 days notice and po st it in writing on the outside of the building.

Get the gun(s) out of the house. Talk to the appropriate people about this.
This is really serious as you know.

No one can force you to have the uncle stay with you.

Brandee, even if not on the deed, op has tenants rights’ to stay there. Uncle moving in may actually be a flex from whoever is on the deed now to being in a cotenant that the first one hates. There are actually whole companies who specialize in exactly this tactic to get people out.

The other thing the op likely has in their corner are social workers familiar with his disabilities. They should call these social workers and see what kind of advocacy they might have,

My neighbor should have done all this while living with and taking care of his parents. He had been there eight years. He had had a stroke. We kept telling him to do what my uncles caregiver/mistress did upon his death. The price for her departure from the family home was 50k. Her leaving was necessary to the over 2m sale. Unlike her, our neighbor/friend ended up with not even a car to travel to the slab city homeless encampment in the so cal desert where he said he wanted ti live.

i wouldn’t do anything fir uncle. Put a lock on your door.

The most important fact is whose name is on the deed to the house. You can get this information from your local government. In many cities or counties this is online. If it's not, you can call. Do that right away. That will tell you if you have the legal right to kick your uncle out.

Do you have some kind of Caseworker to help you secure your rights? If your rights are being violated, and you are disabled and cannot rectify the situation
yourself, then you could contact Disability Rights Advocates.

Where do you live (City?) (Do not give your address here). Do you want us to look that up for you?

Does this mean you were in jail: "i went to do time ". If so, you may have a parole officer who can get you some help living independently in your home.

Seems like, and I could be wrong, you are a vulnerable adult living independently,
but may need some assistance to prevent "family" from taking over, or exploiting you, trying to gain possession of the home. If this is the reality (vulnerable adult), your family may be violating your rights in order to enhance themselves financially.
It may be a crime against a disabled person.

See the person who arranged for your Uncle to move in, and hand them copies of ALL the bills to pay: All the utilities. They should reimburse you. Uncle should pay you rent for the limited time he has stayed there without an agreement.
Do not allow them to change the utilities into anyone's name but yours, if you are the legal owner and reside there. It's complicated. You need a free attorney.

Is there a will?

You need to understand, that you are not to take your money and pay for the Uncle's portion of expenses. Bill him, in preparation for his upcoming eviction.

If you cannot have guns, be brave, call APS (Adult Protective Services) and have the guns removed.

It is stressful to have this person move in and bring guns. Stop sleeping outside, get a lock and secure a bedroom for yourself. Call APS by dialing 911 anytime, day or night. The guns are NOT yours, so get them removed, secretly by a friend if you must. Because you cannot be around guns. First step. Do not tell Uncle or family you are having this done.

We are going to need more information about you (and your wife) if we will be able to help you sort this out.

Do you live in a rental, house, apartment, condo, ranch, farm? Whose name is on the contract? (lease, mortgage, deed, rental agreement?)

Do not move yet, but keep yourself safe. Are you able to live alone? Does your doctor agree? Do you have enough of your own food?

Does your family (Grandpa's adult children) think they are somehow "helping you?"

By the way, one of the best ways to get rid of a grifter is to give them a bill in writing, expecting payment. Then, an overdue bill. Then, an eviction notice through your attorney.

If you give us your age, or approximate age, we can send you to the Senior Center for help in getting a free attorney.

The house is not yours unless you are on the deed. Property has to be given through legal channels, not verbally. Are you on the deed.

Aside from that, if you are the owner evict him. If you are not the owner, then move. And make sure your name is off all the utility bills.

Also, there’s no such thing as witchcraft.

Oh, there’s such a thing as witchcraft.

One day when dh was younger, he and his fishing buddy observed these ppl doing some ritual in the sf bay over what first looked like a bagged dead body. Once they left and the tide went out, they checked it out. It was a bunch of food, coins, pictures of idols etc. whether any of that witchy stuff works, I can’t say. But ppl do it.

Who owns the house? If it's yours, then no, don't let him in. If your grandfather left the house to someone else but you've stayed there, then that person or group of people can decide who lives there, and you can move out if you object.

Even if you choose to stay in a house that belongs to someone else and they let your uncle move in, you don't have to take care of or do anything for him.

If you’re an adult you’re free to live wherever you choose, with whoever you choose. You’re not obligated to provide care to an elder unless you allow it
