I am so sorry for your situation. Here is the thing: that sibling has the same rights to the house as the rest of you.  Was the estate placed in to probate and a personal representative appointed?  Then I would suggest a consultatino with an attorney in your area.  That PR has the power to evict if by law the person can be evicted.  Good luck.
