They are not squatters or trespassers, they are "Unauthorized Occupants".

You will need to serve a "Seven Day Notice of Noncompliance With Opportunity to Cure" to your prior tenant by posting the notice on the door of the rental.

The notice should state “You have an unauthorized occupant residing on the premises in violation of the terms of your lease agreement”.

The landlord needs to act as if the prior tenant is still in the unit, even though most likely the prior tenant will never get the notice. If you have any way to get in touch with the prior tenant, all efforts should be made to do so, as it is possible that the prior tenant does not know that her relatives are still in the unit, and if faced with a legal action may get this person out for you.

If after seven days the person or persons are still in the unit, a "Seven Day Notice of Termination" needs to be served. After seven days, an eviction can be filed against the prior tenant.

Do not under any circumstances ask for rent or send any other notices. If you do, it will prolong or nullify your attemp at removing the unauthorized occupants.
