If you're not on title, you're not an owner. If there's no contract, then you're a renter, and you have no ownership interest in the house. A verbal agreement won't cut it. It doesn't matter that they never lived there, etc.
Right now, whomever is in title is the owner. If that is your deceased brother in law, then his heirs are the owner. You need to clear title and have them deed out to you. If it's both the deceased and the daughter, then both the heirs and the daughter need to deed out to you. This needs to happen quickly.
Since you are not the owner, help your daughter get it in your name through probate..contact a lawyer now and get it done. Hopefully the son in law had a will..or had not other heirs...call us for a no cost consultation..IF your daughter is willing..if she isn't, you have troubles
