A: Apparently you never got a deed, so the property is not yours as you only had a lease with option to purchase. You might have a claim for breach of contract if you paid in full the contract. If not, then you might sue the heirs to complete the contract. But it is doubtful. Hire a SC attorney to search the title and advise if you have any remedy at all.

In the meantime, here are a few general steps you can take:
1. Gather all relevant documents, including proof of your purchase of the mobile home, any agreements or contracts related to the land, and tax records.
2. Try to communicate with the deceased sister's daughters to understand their perspective and see if you can reach an agreement. However, be cautious about making any payments or signing any documents without legal advice.
3. Research local legal aid organizations or low-cost legal clinics in your area. They may be able to provide affordable legal assistance or connect you with a pro bono attorney.
4. Consider contacting your local housing authority or a local non-profit organization that specializes in housing issues. They may have resources or advice specific to your situation.
