Since you don’t have a verified name or authority to contact, your first step should be to file a police report.
Harassment and fraudulent eviction attempts can be both civil and criminal matters.
Keep all the notices, take photos, and maintain records of every incident.
If the name turns out to be fake, that’s still useful — the police can investigate.
You should absolutely keep copies of every document and report these attempts.
No one can legally remove you from your home without a proper court-filed unlawful detainer case served by an authorized party.
Document everything; that will help protect you.

Hi there! My name is Liz, and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade. I’m here to assist with your legal concerns.
To start, in what state do you live?
California.
Elizabeth
Thank you. Can you please explain a bit more about the unlawful detainer and harassment?
The individuals claiming to act on behalf of the property have not provided any legal documentation proving ownership, executorship, or legal management authority.
Their attempts to evict or harass me constitute misconduct and fraudulent misrepresentation. They’ve been placing false summons notices on my door.
Elizabeth
I see — so the issue involves false eviction attempts and harassment. Can you clarify what you mean by lack of ownership or authority?
There is no legally established individual owner. The property is under disputed heirship or managed by a third party, yet someone is issuing fake notices and harassing me, the occupant.
The harassment includes fraudulent notices and intimidation.
Elizabeth
That’s very concerning. Do you know who this individual is, or have they provided any contact information?
No, the information is fake. It’s supposedly managed by heirs, but the property hasn’t been officially assigned to any trustees or executors.
