Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Almost 2 years ago my grandmother passed away, my grandfather and her resided in a home that they were still paying a mortgage on, with quite a bit left owed. My grandfather instead of letting the home go into foreclosure, offered me and my 2 little girls to move in and take over the payment. I excepted. He left everything in the home to me and my girls, taking only his personal belongings. He had a new place set up and ready for him else where. After 8 months of living there he voluntarily placed my name on the deed as part owner in the home. This made me very happy, to have a place for me and my girls to call ours and home. A few months went by and I came into some finical cut backs, became 3 months behind on the payment. Contacted my grandfather asking for help, he refused and said the home would have to go back to the bank. For he could not afford to stay either. Nor did he want to. All the other household bills were paid, I came home one day to my power off. I contacted the electric company asap and they informed me that my grandfather had requested it to be turned off. It was in his name, I was just the caretaker on the account. This was done without and warning to me, and it started what seemed to be a very emotional war between my grandfather and I. So I ofcourse had to leave my home due to no power. Last minute arrangements for a place to live was quite difficult. The cost to turn it back on in my name was $800.00. He then approached me asking me to take my name off the deed and told me that I was not to go back to the home. Now I have been call to court, he has claimed that I stolen furniture and appliances, that were given to me by him. He has made nothing but false accusations on his claim. Of course im going to go and tell my story, no lies necessary on my part. Just any advice is appreciated
