A: There are a lot of facts here. I would suggest that you talk with an attorney to determine if you were ever on title or if you had a contract. it sounds to me that you were not on title and there was no written contract. There may have been an oral contract. It would be a good idea to talk with someone soon, as things seem to change regularly in your situation.
