Eric (brother) has recently been granted durable power of attorney. I have been told (by grandma) the eviction process would take too long. Apparently the shortest length an eviction notice can give a tenant to vacate is 30 days, and only under specific conditions - it is normally 60 days. I am told the bank will be taking possession prior to this time frame expiring. By the time Tim would have to be out of the residence, the bank would have already taken possession.
Eric has been somewhat estranged from his parents for some time due to their disagreements regarding Tim's behavior. Eric finally walked away some years ago after Paul and Beverly's inability to admit to themselves that Tim has been taking advantage of them. As the next closest responsible party, Eric has finally been granted POA, and is doing what he can. The law, however, requires its due process. I think its a matter of too little, too late. I'm here just trying to pick up whatever pieces are left so that my great aunt can live out her final days in relative peace and comfort, and with at least some possessions of sentimental value from her past. This is the most important thing to me.
