If a person owns some land and there is a business operating on that land. But! There has never been any lease, rent papers, no discussion of any kind about paying rent ever. The reason why there was never a lease or rent papers drawn up. One of the owners of the land was married to a family member who was in a business that sits on the land. They passed away. "Can the owners of the land kick the owners of the business off the land where the business sits? Which sits on the land?

@beesure11 In that case I think business can be kicked off land.

I don't know what country you are in; but a lot depends on that. Each country has their own laws.

In our country, considering our laws, yes that could be possible. But even without a document or a written contract of lease, when you allow a certain person to use your property for certain period of time without complaining or letting them know you are against it, our laws says that is tantamount to consent and your right to complain has prescribed. But also that doesn't mean that you cannot evict them if there is a valid reason to do so.
So check the laws of your country.

Not knowing the country or the laws that cover this, it's hard to say.
It would take a legal action to initiate an eviction.
If no contract exists it may be a good first step to take.
Create a contract that would cover a rental agreement and submit it to the business owner via a registered letter from an attorney's office.
Threaten eviction if terms can't be resolved.
This will draw some type of response from the business owner.
It may be more effective than direct contact with the business owner, which you've likely already tried.
Again, I can't guess on laws and regulations that relate to this conflict, but a good first step would be to contact an attorney that will give a free or inexpensive consultation.
They will be aware of laws that cover this type of issue.
Have you tried a direct plea to the business owner to either sign a rental lease or to cease operations?
