There is no legal agreement between you and your grandparents regarding a right to live on their land after they are gone unless it has been reduced to a writing. Looking at it from the children's perspective, you cannot prevent them from selling the property just because you took care of the grandparents for any amount of time.

And they have to sell the place to pay bills. If someone promises to pay you a $1,000,000 but doesn't have it, can you force them to pay you? No. This is the same situation.

You have a right to enforce the promise you relied on. You will need to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against your grandparents' children.
