Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Fighting a Power

At the present time my boyfriend and I are residing at his decesed grandmothers home. Is aunt has power of attorney and the house presently has a lien on it for the next 3yrs. A family member has to live there until that time and then they will have a chance to purchase the home. We have been living there for a year now and signed an aggrement with the family to take over the property and stay until the lein is up, and then purchase to keep the house for the family. Now the family has sent us a letter stating that they want another family to move in and us to move out. Legally can they do this even though we signed an agreement, and if we want to puchase the house can he and not have to move?

First, aunt can't have power of attorney because a dead person can't grant such a poer. She is probably the executrix. You need to talk to an attorney to read the documents and determine whether or not the agreement you have is binding.
