More details to this question:
In 2014 entered into said document to tear down house. This document has stated with no time frame for bringing the house down. My grandmother has belongings inside and said when they were removed I could tear it down this never happened. Now my aunt which the document was signed by her agreeing to and notorized by a notary public is saying I have no rights. Do I or do I not?

You may or you may not, depending on whether the contract is valid, but it has nothing to do with whether the signatures on the contract are notarized or not. There are many reasons why the contract might not be enforceable, and it may be wise for you to engage a local attorney to actually look at the document, but in general if 2 competent adults who are not under duress reach an unambiguous and unconditional written agreement without either deceiving the other, whch agreement accurately reflects their mutual intent, pursuant to which each provides something to the other in exchange for what he/she receives, the agreement is valid and enforceable.
