body: We had a verbal agreement 15 yrs ago that my family would live in the house and Maintain and improve the home and property. With the promise of it being given to us at some point.
   These are long time family friends and I know I should have gotten it in writing. They have now decided to sell the property and although they have offered first chance at it if I cannot secure financing do I have any real recourse.
   I have improved this house and land over the years. Which has increased its value by 80,000-100,000
  Am I screwed?
