The life tenants can allow anyone to occupy the property. If you own the reversion, it has not vested in possession yet which is when both life tenants pass. There may be other ways to get them out, especially if they are criminals or owe money to others.

Having a divorce decree that says you get half of the sale proceeds does not vest title in your name. Talk to your attorney. However it does sound like the sale may take place soon, but you need to insure you will get your half of the sales price.

The Principal needs to revoke the POA with notice to any banks involved, etc. Sometimes you record the revocation in the county where property lies. Principal should hire an attorney to sue the former attorney-in-fact/agent for breach of fiduciary duties, conversion, etc.

Yes as your alleged agreement violates the statute of frauds.

Obviously you are a month to month renter. You have possession so the owner will have to sue and serve you to recover possession. Telling you to leave means nothing.
Home has no mortgage.

A Sale For Partition Action might help if there is significant equity in the property. Otherwise you wait until he wants to sell and then collect. Have a NV attorney search the title and confirm the latter options.

I am not certain what your affidavit is, but if it is not recorded in the County where the land lies, it has no effect. Hire a TN attorney to search the title and advise if a quiet title, ejectment, action, etc. is needed.
