If you were left the house in a Will, once the estate is probated (proved), it may be yours. Otherwise, it passes to others under the Will or, if there is no Will, to your friend's heirs at law. You have no right of occupancy.
If you had a written contract and evidence that it was breached because you were not paid what the contract provided, you may file a claim for back wages against the estate.
