This guy clearly has it in for you. His tactics are sleazy and totally illegal. He used dirty tricks to intimidate you and get you to sign a forged document. You are totally morally absolved of any responsibility to be "ethical" towards him. You must not have guilt or pity, but you must use every dirty trick to get this guy prosecuted and hopefully even get a bit of money out of him. Now is your chance to go "full tilt pitbull" on this guy. You need to report him and say that you coerced to sign the document, because he did, even if it means saying that he coerced you under a threat of violence. The fact that he and his son in law stood over you while you signed it will look good in your favor. Even if you have to exaggerate the details, DO IT. You are no longer obligated to play fair or honest. The endgame is your only goal. When this guy did what he did, he made himself FAIR GAME and he deserves what ever he gets coming to him. Don't shrink from using every dirty trick in the book. See if you can get damages out of him for stress related health problems as a result of his intimidation. Go for the jugular. Show no mercy.

Make sure you also have a coherent account so this doesn't backfire on you.

It said that should anything happen to my husband, they had the right to remove me in 14 days. It also said that all fixtures in the house had to stay, but my husband and I purchased the washer and refrigerator because the ones he placed in here broke. It also stated that my in-laws lived here with us. They don't. It went on to say numerous other things like how if we were gone for more than 7 consequential days, he had to be notified, if not we would have to vacate on the 8th day. there are other ridiculous things listed too. The father in law stated that if I didn't sign, that I had to be out with-in 24 hours. My family was here on a visit and witnessed the father in law and brother in law pretty much bully me into signing it. My spineless husband did nothing to dispute any of this other than to make his Dad change the move out time to 30 days. How legal is this and how much trouble can I get into if the county officials ask if the father in law is living here and i lie about it?

What is he gonna do? Kill his son and collect the insurance policy!?!? There are so many things wrong with this situation that I don't know where to start. You may need to enlist some 'heavies' for protection. Start networking.

Get the hell out of that property ASAP

At this point you are doing fraud. You signed a false statement for tax evasion purposes

Don't you even think about reporting him. At this point you are his accomplice. Forget your washer and dryer and move on. Learn from this experience. Never sign a document you don't agree with

If you can't get the heck out you can pressure him by telling him that you will tell the county he moved out after the agreement was signed. Whatever you do, you must state the county that he lived with you during the time on the document

Fraud is a serious crime, don't you even consider contradicting what you signed on that document.

Your husband has no back bone. Be sure to tell him that. Your father in law is a bully. You're stuck between a rock & a hard place.

I'm not sure one of the previous posts is correct in calling this an accomplice type crime, as others have mentioned, this sounds a lot more like a situation where you were coerced/forced into signing it. If someone puts a gun to my head and makes me sign a notarized legal document that doesn't mean I'm bound to that document. (a little further up the scale, but you get the idea).

You DO need to get a lawyer involved and soon. As others have mentioned, the county/city should have records showing who has paid the bills for the past five years, where father-in-law has his car registered, where his voter registration is, where his drivers license is, etc. Five years of your documents showing you live in the house and five years of his documents showing he lives elsewhere doesn't just get thrown out the window because he forces you to sign a document.

Get a lawyer involved to turn him in and do it soon. The longer you wait, the more it looks like you agree to go along with things. Plus, if father-in-law suddenly decides to kick you out for turning him in there's a thing called retaliatory eviction. Basically the landlord can't evict a tenant for the tenant being a whistleblower to the landlord doing something wrong - again, the lawyer will help protect you in this situation.

Best of luck, but get a lawyer soon, and it probably would be a good idea to start looking for somewhere else to live.

Yours is the most sound advice out there. Wanna bet, though, she won't want to move?
