Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

My grandfather gave me his home while he was alive, have lived here for 3 years, but i didn't sign any legal documents or get a deed. Now my family wants me and my children to move out, after my twin girls graduate from high school. They want the property, say they want to fix up the property and house. What legal rights do I have as a family member, I never had to pay rent or a mortgage and presently we have no where to go, I'm disabled, on a limited income with poor credit. What rights to I have, i have spent major dollars on this old house on upkeep. It's just not fair!!!

Based on your post, you get to move. You cannot be given a home unless you were given a deed. Since you didn't get one, you never owned the home. The only right you have as a tenant at will is to be given 60 days notice to move.
