More details to this question:
I live with my great aunt and grandmother. They're currently both sick, one turning 88 Wednesday and one 83. I don't feel comfortable asking about their will and I know my mother how lives down south has her eye set on this house. Would I be removed from the house if they pass away or would I be allowed to stay? What can I do to protect myself from being homeless or having this house which is paid in full taken by my mother?

You need to have them deed you the house, or give it to you in a will. If you are not the owner after they pass, then the owner, be it your mother or whomever, can evict you in court like any other holdover tenant with no lease.
