You need to take a copy of your Father in Law's will to an estate attorney immediately.  Did your Husband have a Will?  Did he have any agreement as to the land with his brothers?  Are you renting the property from them?  Did you build a house or are you living in what was left by your Father in Law?  There are too many unanswered questions here and someone would have to read all the necessary documents before they could give you an answer.   If you say that it reverts to your husband's brothers then it would appear you are not protected, but only an attorney in your area would be able to tell you for sure if there is any way you can stay.
