Your agreement violates the statute of frauds. But you have possession right now and the heirs with title must sue you for possession. You might demand they pay you to leave by a certain date. It would be easier to hire a TX attorney to deal with the tenants in common or devisees.

I agree that she has no right to reclaim the puppy if you did not sign the agreement and you did not agree to any specific conditions verbally. As a practical note, you may want to block her on as many forms of communication as possible (phone, email, all social media). If she does find ways to... View More

It depends. If it is a true oral disposition then anything is fair game. Your attorney may object but you are still required to answer the question. Objections are typically resolved after the fact.

That being said, there are very limited instances where your attorney may stop the... View More

I think the question would revolve around if you accepted any type of payment for allowing them to stay. If you did, then they may be considered a Tenant. If you just allowed them to stay as a guest, then maybe not.
