Sounds terrible.
You’ll need to contact a lawyer directly. Lawyers cannot solicit through this platform not provide referrals.
I just found out they did not go through the process of assuming the loan with my lender. They just want to pay the payments and have no intention of transferring the loan out of my name. Do I have any legal recourse?

You can sue the buyer for breach of contract or specific performance.

There are many different forms of estates, so just being one of the named grantees in a deed does not define your title. Contact a MO attorney to review the deed and determine ownership. But it sounds like you both own something and have a right of possession.

My cousin took the will and put her name on the account so I would not have access to anything

You should open a probate estate in the county where your loved one died. If a will exists, you can file that will with the Court to inform how the estate should be distributed. Without more information I am unable to give any more specific advice. What account? Who is the deceased?
My wife left me over a year ago and moved in with her mother. She has all her mail forwarded to her mothers address where she lives. I am trying to sell my home where do I stand legally? We are still legally married, can she fight me on selling the house?
answered on Feb 22, 2024
The short answer is that your wife's signature will be necessary to sell the house. Depending on the circumstances, she may or may not be entitled to "block" you from selling the house, but her signature will be necessary because of your marital status.

Read your Court Decree. If the mortgage is not addressed then you have no leverage to force her to refinance. If you deeded it to her then you own nothing and have no right to a partition sale. However you are still obligated on the note.
My father in law’s house was left to my wife and her two siblings in a beneficiary deed. Her brother had a judgement that attached to the house and we have bought out their interest.

Maybe. Hire an attorney to review the docket to determine whether the judgment has been revived.

It does not make it invalid, but it is still only a lease with option to purchase. It is not a deed.
answered on Dec 3, 2023
Without knowing more, it’s hard to answer your question. For example, does the lease even require a letter advising of a breach as a precondition for filing suit.
They think they on the garage because I did not record my deed and they did but my contract is 10 days prior to theirs with a signed Witnesses two of them and also a notary public
answered on Dec 3, 2023
If you didn’t record the document then the new purchaser was not on notice. I therefore think you’d lose in court.
Can they assume the mortgage if they find a way to make the payments?

If the note is not paid, foreclosure will occur. Most mortgages/deeds of trust contain due on sale clauses which prevent a transfer without the lender's consent. Children will need to request to be on the note and also pay taxes/insurance. With a will, probate will be necessary.

I suggest you hire a local attorney to review the prior lease and see how if affects the situation. In general, a landlord is not required to renew a lease, but it's unclear from your post whether the prior lease expired.

It’s not a matter of breaking any law but rather of breaching the lease, a contract. You may sue for breach of contract to recover actual damages or for injunctive relief.
