It was about 3 or 4 years ago. My sister-n-law's daughter abandon her house. So my sister-n-law ask me to take over the payments and try to change the name from the house to my name. But now because of family problems. I told them to give me at least 60 days to leave, and they want me to leave in 3-5 days. I haven't had a chance to find a place for me and my family to live. So now the marshall came drop a court order for eviction.

You may have a claim for "adverse possession", depending on the law in your state. If you possess the property "openly, notoriously and continuously", pay the mortgage and the property taxes for several years, might have a claim to the property. You need a real estate lawyer for this.
As for the eviction, if you were already sued and the marshal has served you with the judgment to leave, you will either need a lawyer to get an emergency order, today, to stop the eviction, or you will need to leave right now.
If you don't get a court order to stop the eviction, the marshal will come back, throw you out on the street, and lock the doors with your belongings inside.
Don't ignore this any longer. Pack, and see an attorney.

It's a pretty nasty trick, but there's not a lot you can do. She owns the house, and you don't say that there's anything from her expressing any intention to give up ownership to you. Since it involves real estate, any such agreement MUST be in writing, verbal agreements are worthless. It's her house.
The only thing you might do is fight the eviction, and that would depend on the basis of the eviction, and whether or not the allegations are true. All fighting it will do is buy a little time.
If the marshall is already delivering a court order, this has been going on for a few weeks already. They had to give you a "notice to quit" by a date certain before they could even file the suit that got them the court order.
There's a whole long list of things you should have done at various points along the way, but you're pretty much out of options if they have the court order. Probably all you can do is pack.

Who's name is on the Deed? Who's name is on the Mortgage? If yours is on both it is your house, not hers. If it is on one, you have to fight it out in court. If it is on none, then the have to go through the legal process of getting evicted. If you do not have a lease form them it will be tough for you, depending on what state you are in. In any case it could take six to seven months before a court can order you out.

You've been screwed by your own family.
This is why one should never deal with family on business matters.

Can you give more details, I'm unsure of what your question is.
