Do I have the power to evict him if he bullies, harrasses me, lives off her savings, and doesn't maintain the property? Mom has a life estate and holds right to stay in property until passing. She is 91 and fading. House has been in a timed trust, we both inherit house "free of trust' at 55, for me that has happened. He turns 55 in one month. But I wonder if that even matters if I have p.o.a. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Yes, do see a lawyer asap. As POA for your mother your obligation is to protect her money, which means you can't allow your brother can't live off her savings. You also have the trust/life estate/inheritance issues, and eviction laws to deal with as well. And who knows how much trouble your brother will cause when you try to make changes. So protect yourself by getting good legal advice. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

You need to talk to an estate lawyer in your state. Laws will vary depending upon your state. Since your brother may be problematic I'd list the house sooner rather than later. Eviction laws will also vary by state.

I would get to an estate lawyer asap and have all documents reviewed along with getting advice on moocher brother. In your shoes I’d certainly want him out if at all possible but you need legal advice
