Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

My ex husband and I bought a home in 2009. Shortly after, we divorced and neither one of us were sure we could afford the house, we were young. His aunt and uncle decided they would move in and take over the payments until they could get a loan to buy the house. The uncle had filed bankruptcy and lost their home and the aunt is a stay at home mother. The uncle wrote up a contract and all 4 of us signed it. It was never notarized or nor was an attorney present. Since then, they haven't been able to get a loan. My ex husband and I decided to ask them to find another place and I would move into the house and make the payments. Was the contract legal and do I have a right to move back into the house?

The contract could be construed as being legal, but the terms and conditions under which the tenants can be evicted or requested to leave are subject to interpretation. Before you do anything, you need to consult with an attorney to define your rights.
