She agreed to my stipulations, that is #1, I would live there for the rest of my life if I had chose to (all utilities paid) #2 she would not sell the house as long as I was alive. No attorney involved.
If you didn't set it up as a life estate (that's what it is called when retain the rights to stay there for the rest of your life), then there probably isn't a lot you can do. A life estate is an encumbrance that is recorded at the county.
At one point I had help from a lawyer who worked "pro-bono". He was certain that I could get the house back because my daughter breached the verbal contract. As he explained it to me, his house is in his name but he can not sell it because the bank still owns it. Anyways, he had filed a case against my daughter suing her for the house back but after he had seeming developed some health issues, I have been unable to contact him. Since then I missed a court date that I was unaware of until I received a notice in the mail from the court stating that the case was dismissed due to the fact that my daughter and I had not appeared. The way I figure is if I had been there, I would have won by default, correct?
Any lawyer who would assert what you claim yours said (in bold above) is an idiot. I think perhaps you misunderstood him. Banks do NOT OWN the houses they loan money for people to buy. The homeowner owns the house, and has borrowed money from the bank using that home as collateral. The owner can sell it any time they want, with most mortgage agreements calling for an immediate payoff of the outstanding loan amount at time of sale.
"I just gave it to my daughter outright"
That quote is incorrect !!!!!!!!!!!! that is the moderater's words NOT MINE!
There doesn't appear to be any evidence of a moderator editing your post. It looks like you said it in response to a question.
I was going to try to offer up some advice or assistance, but I am getting the feeling such would be wasted, as it appears you confuse facts easily. The best I can suggest is that you get your motor home off the property, as it is no longer your property, and seek out a local real estate attorney, to see if you have any kind of case.
Contact the same lawyer you had before. Unfortunately, if you wrote out a deed giving the property to your daughter without the help of an attorney and did not have it in writing that you could live on the property until you chose not to (called a life-estate), you are probably out of luck. But at this time, you do need the services of an attorney. And contact your state's human resources commission to see what kind of aid you can get, even if it's help in finding a job/training.
