Life Estate?
Sounds like a very tough situation.
You may even be able to get a restraining order against him.
What ever his intent was, there are some possibilities the in-laws can sue you. They could have several causes of action. If the action is in tort, they usually have 3 years, and in contract, they usually have 6 years.
If you are concerned, there are some steps you can take to protect yourself.
