Change in will after beneficiary had invested money in property.

[Mermaid]

I built a stable on another's land and invested money in the propery because the property was willed to me. I also retired with a fixed income because, based on the will, I would not have to invest any more large amounts of money. Now the person who made the agreement wants to sell me the land and change her will leaving her house and 4 acres to another person. She can't buy me out and I have my stable on her proberty. I will have to use my emergency savings to buy the land. Based on her failure to abide by the verbal agreement and the will, I will be out a great deal of money in order to keep my investments. What are my rights, if any?

Agreements to make a Will are almost never valid unless in writing. But that does not mean you are without rights. What they are depends on exactly ewhat the deal you made was, what you did, and the state you live in. See a lawyer of your own -- it will cost a lot less than you think -- and perhaps a letter from the lawyer to the person will solve the problem for you.
