Getting a family "squatter" out of house

[beachsand]

Mom wants to sell her Virginia house but her son and his wife are squatting in it. Since it's her son, she has paid all the utilities, taxes, and insurance on the house for the past year AND utilities, rent, etc. on her appartment. She can no longer afford to keep the house and wants to sell it. Other family members have asked little brother and wife to vacate the premises but to no avail. Do we have to go through the whole process of a "30 days notice", unlawful detainer, court, etc. to get them out??

Evict the bum under the state's landlord-tenant laws.

A quick lawsuit should take around 90 days and five thousand bucks (if it's cheap).
