My husband & I enter into a verbal agreement with my mother on August 10, 2007 that she would give me the land I was to inherit now so that my husband, who is a carpenter, could build me a house on that land.
We hired someone to do the blue prints and even made arrangement to live in a house and remodel it for two years in exchange for rent so we could save money for our house.
Yesterday I received a call from my mother telling me that she had already promised the land in front of my property to my daughter and her husband says that he will not allow her to put a house there if we build a house on our land, because he does not like my husband.
She says she will not turn her back on my daughter so basically she is going back on her original agreement leaving my husband and I in quite a predicament. We've already spent a lot of money and made a lot of plans.
Is there anything legally I can do. My mother is notorious for doing this sort of thing to me and it would not hurt me one bit to take her to court over it. She and my Stepfather are worth about 25 Million dollars.
