You have the grounds for a lawsuit for your financial damages, and maybe even for 'specific performance' regarding title transfer, subject to you being able to prove the case with admissible and credible documentary evidence. If serious about getting legal counsel to help you in this, feel free to contact me.
Unfortunately as the law favors clear written and recorded property interests, their are laws called the statute of frauds and the parole evidence rule that will operate against you in this litigation. Therefore an office experienced in this particular issue is essential. This is one such office. Contact us directly,
