"grandparents home which there no telling when we could move in,"
do you have a pressing need to be out of your current house quickly? If not, then I would say it's time for a Sunday evening sitdown. ARE THE GRANDPARENTS COMPETENT? Have all parties present. Hubby, aunts, grandparents. Air it out. Make sure EVERYONE knows what's happening. If the aunts have heartburn about this, best to know about it now. Backdoor agreements between you and grandparents INVITES problems down the road. Maybe even prepare, in writing, what your understanding of the deal is, and after the discussion is over, get everyone to sign. Will fare you well if there's trouble down the road.
Physical problems with the structure? Depending on the seriousness of the foundation problems, everything else seems minor...and probably less costly than the downpayment portion of a conventional mortgage. New pump, new AC, and new carpet? Done.
Does the one aunt HAVE somewhere else to live? I see her claim being the most serious. "I cared for them when they were old and infirm, and now they sell the home out from under me."
Some families balk at "breaking up the homeplace" idea. Put in a clause giving right of first refusal to family members should you ever decide to sell.

X2 this is god advice.

that's what has me concerned about it i told my husband it would have to be in our name and done asap so that there wouldnt be any fun business about their mental health and that it would be through a title company/agency that would make it completely legally ours with no chance for that to change later.

Yes. Get title NOW or get away. Even wills are no guarantee. They can be changed later, without your knowledge. And, this gets really crazy...you mentioned grandparents going to assisted living....if this is government sponsored (medicare/medicaid) they must use ALL their financial means first, including (here in SC at least) any real estate they disposed of in the previous 5 years. LAWYER TIME!

In YOUR names would be the only way to go.

Moving slow here. On second cup of coffee and will go for a third. We have been working hard around here the past two days on the wrong end of a shovel. LOL We have got a lot done, still need to finish up, but not today! Taking the day off.

"This is God advice ".... , oh @Baymule, how you make me laugh...

That's OK. I think even GOD agrees with me on this one.

Well, I guess I need to get dressed and get outside and get chores done. We were so tired yesterday afternoon, we quit at 3, DH went in for a shower, I fed animals, then went in for a shower to discover that SOMEBODY had taken a LONG HOT shower and I got a SHORT COLD shower! Supper was cancelled due to lack of interest on my part......I had cereal and DH made a sandwich. We collapsed in our recliners, even our feel good hurt. DH needs today to recuperate. I'd like to go get finished up, but I can't work him to death! And he won't let me go start working by myself, so no work today!

wish I had somebody to blame it on when I was too tired to start back.
