my neighbor passed away abut a month agao. she had real lowlife peple living with her. they had until today to get out of the house. so far, they have made no attempt to move out. they were selling drugs and all kinds of crazy stuff.

if they are nt out in the morning, i am going to call the plce and complain that there a squatters in the home.

@shortbreadlover, if they are lowlife drug dealers like you said, I would think twice before getting involved by calling the police. These people could make trouble for you. Surely there must be someone who is in charge of the deceased neighbor's estate. Maybe you could get in touch with them and tell them of your concerns.

It seems there are a lot of facts missing from you're relating this story.

First of all. who and why were these so-called low-life people living with her? Were they relatives, friends, partners in crime? Who legally owns the house? Did she leave a will?

If this a home or an apartment? If a home, who is the executor of the estate? I would think the person that gave them a deadline for moving out will be checking to see if they are gone. I would let them be the one to call the police so you don't have any problems with the squatters.

Are your neighbors bothering or threatening you? If not then I would just ignore them and mind my own business, to say it bluntly.

Years ago, my father owned a multi family home that he rented. The renters on the first floor were evicted. The day they were due out, there was no movement. That night they sat on the front porch, drank and partied until midnight. Maybe that's what these folks are doing.

@shortbreadlover@Your neighbor has passed on so you don’t have to worry about them now.Whoever is the beneficiary will have to handle the problems.Ir you continue to be involved it could become a danger to you or your family.

I agree.

And it's perfectly possible that they were given some kind of extension or there may be another legitimate reason why they haven't moved out that the OP isn't aware of. This is definitely a "mind your own business" situation unless there's a really compelling reason to make a complaint or inquiry.

There was a house in my neighborhood where my friend and I KNEW they were selling drugs.

We copied down the license plates and reported them to the police.

Months went by but we kept doing it. Finally, I knew the Va Senator through my late husband. I called him and told him about the situation. Still nothing (my guess is they were investigating and he couldn't tell me), it's not like we were good friends.

Then one day lots and lots of police and FBI cars and people pulled up! We sat on her front porch watching the sceen. It was better than a movie!

It was funny and sad because all of the cars disappeared. Then more people started showing up to buy drugs. They were greeted at the door by a guy wearing an FBI vest. They were probably thinking..."Just my luck".

Finally the house was empty. But it took months for us. Hope you have a quicker time.

People can make a difference if they just try. It's important though that they not know you reported them.

If they are not threatening you or endangering you or doing anything illegal on your property; it's best if you let the owner of the property deal with this.
