My mother-in-law and her late husband owned a home together. Hers and his name were on the deed to the house. He passed away back in December of * but a year before he passed away his * brothers moved into the home. Thery now are not paying the mortgage and is now in foreclosure. There was no will or a trust for the brothers to have the house. She moved out of the house back in *, they never got a divorce. We have sent the right paperwork to the mortgage company to make her successor of the loan. So can she send them a notice to vacate the premises and if they fail to do that continue the eviction process through the courts.
To better assist you, could you clarify if your mother-in-law is officially recognized as the executor or administrator of the estate? This will help determine her legal standing to send a notice to vacate and proceed with eviction.

You can address the notice to "All Occupants" or "Jane Doe and All Others" if you do not know everyone's name living in the house. This should be sufficient to cover everyone residing there.
