Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Breach of verbal agreement to sell land
In 1997, we bought a mobile home and moved it to an acre of land that my husband's brother promised to sell us. We've built a huge non-movable front porch, a back porch. a roof over the mobile home. We've planted flowers, shrubs, fruit, nut, and shade trees. We paid nearly a thousand dollars for a septic system, and in general, we've put close to six thousand dollars in this acre in improvements. We learned today that the land is being sold to yet another brother. What are our legal rights? What can we do?

Re: Breach of verbal agreement to sell land
You may have a lawsuit for fraud or unjust enrichment. If the brother won't listen, there is not much else you can do. The law will protect your understanding and your investment, but you cannot retain the land without a deed or written, notarized instrument showing you are entitled to possess it.
