    You are going to need to find out from your local govenment whose name the house is in.

    In my area, this is on the internet for anyone to see.

    If your name is on the deed you can sell it = you may need to close probate first.

    If your father in laws name is no the deed = hopefully he is a good guy is signs the house to you since your family (husband & you) have made all the payments
