    Oral agreements are difficult to prove and/or enforce. Did your aunt put your moms name on the deed? If not the argument could be made that she changed her mind.

    If it was a gift for mom, than title should have been transferred to mom. If the title wasn't transferred, then the aunt still owns the property. Assuming that mom and dad never paid rent or property taxes, basically the aunt gave them a gift of free housing NOT a free home. And she can argue that point. Which means dad has to vacate

    Property is one of the things, that has special state laws, in most cases verbal agreements for the sale of property is not binding and have to be in writing. ** or so the laws of 3 states I have sold real estate said so.
