Re: right to land
Contracts regarding real estate must be in writing to be enforceable. Therefore, if your mother signed a deed to you, that's it; the property is yours and she can't do anything. However, if when you say she "gave" it to you verbally, that is not generally enforceable. On the other hand, since you took certain actions in reliance on the "gift" the courts may give you some relief. Consult with a local attorney.
Re: right to land
If mother deeded the land to you, you can stay as long as you own the property.
