My father was blind and needed around the clock help. This women claimed that the purchase was mutual . Yet he had only met her two weeks prior and days after they met this caregiver packed him up and took him to South Carolina where the house was purchased. This woman planned this journey and knowingly took advantage of a newly blind aging desperate disabled man who was simply in fear for his life He died shortly after the purchase of the house . She sued his family to keep the house then She sold the house immediately a She knew he was vulnerable and did it for her own financial gain! The family did not find out til after the fact and was extremely upset one member posted some truths of her in regards to her abusing and taking advantage of a rich broken blind man. Now she is trying to sue for slander and defamation? Can someone please help?

Something unusual here, first you post that this site is a fraud and a scam, then you post this, honestly, to close a piece in property in less than 2 weeks is a real stretch. Title searches take longer than that. Is there more to this story?

“She sued his family to keep the house” makes no sense either. Why would the caregiver need to sue anybody if she purchased the home in her name only?

I’m not sure what’s going on so hopefully the original poster will reply with more info so that members here can offer advice.

This entire thing is fishy. I think this post is just a bunch of hooey.

first...no way caregiver and Dad did a purchase in two weeks...and then to claim it was then sold immediately?
That is just bunk! No way 2 closings happen that fast.

whatever the real story might be ... it isn’t being told here

Katglos, I am first of all very curious about your previous post here? Link is above. Can you explain it at all?
Nextly, the time to press charges for elder fraud is right away, when it happens. There are no details here to help us. We can't know if this gentleman was demented or not. Cannot know if it was not, indeed his intention to go on a wonderful road trip at the end of his life, and to buy this woman a home. And apparently the family were not close enough to even understand any of this was happening at the time. The trip. The purchase. The subsequent sale. It was all discovered long after the fact?
I am certain there must be more details somewhere?
My first move on my part in a situation such as this would be an investigation of this person by "Private Eye"; they can do amazing work online, and quite easily. There may be a history here. This all sounds like it would make a movie.
We do need to be very very careful of what we put into writing, or even what we accuse people of verbally. We do leave ourselves open to suit. A friend of mine recently won 100,000 from the insurance company of a madwoman who slandered him on a facebook post.
I surely don't have the answer here, other than to get a lawyer. I am afraid it is here for us as a warning for our futures. I hope you will update us with more details on this.

She found a lawyer to sue for slander and defamation? Very unusual. In this area attorneys will not represent a client for this unless there is tons of money involved like in major corporations.

Was dad of sound mind? Maybe this person has a history of doing such things? Have you contacted the district attorney? If there is a history, you may not need to retain an attorney. The DA, I would think, would be very happy to go after this. So many resources at their disposal.

Just wondering, how is a blind, desperate & disabled man who needs help around the clock not tended to in any way by his own family? Was he ignored to the point where some chick comes along, buys a house with HIS money which she would have to have access to, packs him up, moves him to a different state, still without ANY of his family's knowledge, and then he proceeds to die soon afterward? Again, WHERE was this man's family while all this was happening?

Get a lawyer. That’s the only way you’ll get help. Good luck. Wow. What an awful person she was. Didn’t anyone know what she was doing?

But how can we know the circumstances? As I read it the family wasn't much involved, at least could not have been appointed POAs at all, didn't find out until the house was sold or the Dad died? I don't know. Some families......I am just saying, if I am left blind and old and alone, I might go on a road trip myself! I am hoping we get more information. This almost sounds like a novel to me, Ahmijoy! I may research it for one!

Katglos1, did your Dad have a financial Power of Attorney? Or a Power of Attorney in general?

An escrow takes 30 days usually.

Yes. Seems like a quick purchase, quick resale here. Something seems odd.

I think that there are a lot of assumptions about how long it takes to actually buy a house.

My husband and I bought our home in 21 days, we saw it, made an offer, found financing and moved in 21 days later, 2 hours after the sellers moved out, just long enough to have the house cleaned.

This time would have been greatly reduced if we had cash.

Obviously there are holes in how all of this went down, but if this "caregiver" was looking for a victim the odds of the house seller being involved are good. Waiving home inspections and appraisal can cut a week or more from the process.

Hopefully the original poster will take a deep breath and answer some questions.
