More details to this question:
I had a rent to own agreement. I lived in the home for 7 1/2 years. The owner's deceased wife was on everything. I asked him multiple times to have her removed so I could proceed with assuming the mortgage. He always stated he sent in the paperwork, yet to this day she is still on the legal documentation. I put a lot of work into the home including a new roof and a new water system. Is there any way for me to recoop my money?

Possibly. You will need to retain a lawyer to review all of the details of the RTO agreement. With real property there might be issues such as his ability to convey the title to you if the property was also owned by the wife and the probability you will be going through a probate situation to resolve this.
