Answer
Number one, Terry, please remember this for the rest of your life: In real estate, if it is not in writing, it was never said. Your father screwed you by not putting anything he said he would do in writing and then signing it. Then you would have to record it in the county recorder's office.

If none of that happened, then you were aced out. They took advantage of your ignorance, which you already know. So that this does not happen again, I strongly suggest you go to school, yes, I mean regular classes that would teach you to read, write, spell, etc. Otherwise, people will always think you are ignorant and will always take advantage of you the rest of your life. Also, learn all you can about real estate. Read, read and read some more. The more you read the more you will learn how to write properly and people will take you seriously when you do write.

In the meantime, go to the county recorder and look up (or have someone help you look up) the title to the house you're talking about. You will then know who actually owns that house. Maybe your father put the title of the house into a trust for you! Then if a REAL ESTATE attorney can help you, he or she will. Otherwise, you will have to realize that you must start all over again, starting with going to school and learning to write and read all you can about real estate. I do wish you well.
