Can't Get Deceased Father's Girlfriend Out Of The House

Card image cap

Location: Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama

My BF's father passed away in May 2025. He and his girlfriend had been at this residence for 10+ years. The father had taken a mortgage out on this house. He also owned another house that was paid off.

The executor of the father's estate deeded the house that was paid off to the girlfriend, and the agreement was that she leave the other residence.

At some point after the father's passing, she moved four or five family members into the house.

The week of Thanksgiving she stated she would need a week or so to move.

On Dec. 13, 2025 she was served with a 30-day notice to move.

As of this past Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, she still has not left the property. She stated she would need until today, Monday, Jan. 19, 2026. My BF was told by the city police on Friday not to change the locks. He did call the sheriff, but after waiting an hour and a half, he had to leave before they showed up.

Every time she's asked when she'll be out, she always states she needs another 3-4 days. She's had well over six months to move into the other house.

There is no lease or rental agreement in place.

What can be done to get her out? As stated, she has another house to go to, about 10 minutes from the one she's staying in now.
