A:
You will need an attorney to protect your interests -- if you actually have any interest in the house. Among the issues you will have to provide info on: who paid the down payment? Who paid the monthly loan payment? WHo paid the taxes and insurance? I presume you are taking care of the maintenance, inside and out.
Get all that info, all the documents you have that have any info regarding the purchase of the property and receipts for payments. Even notes of a phone conversations may be relevant. Gather all that and go find a real estate lawyer. The time to do that is now, because you are an occupant in a house you do not own, and they could get you out in 30-45 days.
