The situation depends on what was your father-in law's will. If he left a will then his property would be divided as per his will which should be followed in letter and sprit. In case he died intestate ( without leaving a will) then your mother-in law and all her children have an equal share in the property and all other assets he has left behind.
In so far as your MIL forcing you to leave the house is concerned, let me tell you that no one can take you out of your dwelling house except with by due process of law. You may ask for a partition in case if you are an equal shareholder by virtue of your Late FIL dying intestate.
In case if your MIL is the beneficiary of your late FIL she can be restricted from moving you out of the property that you are occupying, but it may be stated that the law will come to your rescue only if you are staying only beyond a period of 12 years.
