We’re proud to announce that we have settled a dispute involving the residence of an elderly woman, which was unlawfully transferred by one of her children to himself.
The case involved one of our clients’ children, who, taking advantage of her older age, and under the excuse that the house would be “better protected,” transferred the $800,000 residence to himself. The residence is free and clear of any mortgages, thus effectively enriching the son by the same amount.
The complaint alleged theories of forgery, conversion, civil theft, exploitation of an elderly person under Florida Statutes 825.103, and fraud, among others.
Given the strength of the facts in the case, the defendant quickly settled the case and transferred the residence via a quitclaim deed back to the mother shortly after the complaint was filed.
As stated by attorney Eduardo A. Maura, “We’re extremely happy with the result. It is not often that we can settle litigation this early. We’re happy that we were able to obtain 100% of what we wanted for our client – the return of her residence.”
