QUESTION
I'm 55 and have lived in my house 51 years, but do not own it. Can the legal owner move in and evict me or my husband?

More details to this question:
There is a possibility of this situation occurring in the future, when the current homeowner (my older sister) dies and the ownership passes to her son. He would very likely move in, and his common-law wife (whom I don't trust) would most certainly try to get us out.

Yes. Occupancy and paying taxes give no right of ownership.
Your older sister would do well to gift the home to you while she is alive or sign a Will gifting it to you on her death.
