If this brother's name is on the deed (the one who's been staying in the home) then he

is also a co owner of this property who has as much right to be there as you do or your sister.

You could offer to sell your share of the hone to this occupying brother but if that is not

feasible (for whatever reason) then you could hire an attorney to file a partition suit in

the local circuit court where the property is located which would likely result in a judicially-

ordered sale of the property with the sale proceeds divided among you, your brother and sister.
