I'm a caregiver who has been asked to leave or be evicted. What can I do?

I have been a caregiver for my then boyfriends parents for 15 months in Texas. The dad passed away on Christmas last year and we have been taking care of his 86 years old wife with dementia. Before he died he put me and stepson in the will to receive the house and contents after she dies to compensate us for leaving Ca to come to take of them, now her sister does not like me and has told this woman to evict me. What can I do ? Disabled myself with no income, no car, no family or friends here. Her son is my ex boyfriend and is living here as well. I'm distraught, need advise please ! Thank you so much !

Please contact your local adult social services to see if there is immediate help for you. You may be able to take some legal action because of the will, but you need help now. There are non-profit social services in most areas as well as county social services. If you are in danger, try your local women's shelter or the Rape and Abuse crisis center. You need someone locally to stand by you.
Please make some phone calls.

If you need legal assistance call your Texas state bar association. There should be a section for no or low fee legal assistance. These are lawyers who volunteer their time.
good luck
