Answer:
Without a written contract, your husband and his siblings will need other evidence to show that the agreement lacks consideration on one side. This could involve demonstrating that the man did not fulfill his obligations to repair the building and put on a new roof. The Quick Claim Deed alone may not be sufficient to grant him possession, especially if he failed to meet the conditions of the agreement.
