This sounds like a nightmare! I need to have some more facts here to help you. Was the guy married to your mom? Did your mom ever give this man title to the property? How is it that this man has title to the property? Did you mom leave the property to this man in her will? Were you served with a notice to quit? were you served with eviction papers? It sounds like you were out of town and the guy pulled a fast one on you. If there is a judgment, then the guy can enforce it and have a marshal remove you from the premises. I suggest moving out to avoid an arrest and then hiring a lawyer to file an appeal. You do not have a lot of time to wait before yourt rights to appeal expire. Therefore, I would file the appeal in the next week will the help of a lawyer.
