Yadkinville, North Carolina--Sanders Law Firm, PLLC resolved a case on the courthouse steps minutes before the case was to be called for trial in Yadkin County Superior Court.
The case was based on abuse of a power of attorney document made by Mrs. E. to her daughter. Within a week of recording the Power of Attorney, which was not done by an attorney, the attorney-in-fact daughter (“AIF”) executed a deed to Mrs. E’s real property to the AIF’s son/Mrs. E’s grandson. The grandson soon thereafter initiated an eviction of the AIF and Mrs. E.
Mrs. E spent time in a homeless shelter. Her other child, who had been kept away from her, was able to house and take care of her during the litigation.
Mrs. E filed the litigation to get possession and title back to her houses.
Allegations were made that Mrs. E wanted grandson to have the real property and said as much. Other issues included the AIF medicating Mrs. E such that she couldn’t think clearly throughout the process as well as keep her other child and family excluded from her.
With the courthouse settlement, approved by the judge, Mrs. E regained title and possession to her real property. The court ordered the AIF to vacate the real property.
