I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. Are you on the deed to the house. If not, the son can make you leave only if he is acting for or onbehalf of your grandma. You need to find out who has power of attorney to make her financial and business decisions. That person is the one that can order you to leave. I suggest hiring a lawyer as the son must go through the eviction process to force you to leave.
