A 101-year-old Detroit woman has been evicted from her home after her son failed to make her aware of an active foreclosure on her home. The foreclosure stemmed from a 2002 mortgage refinance of her home, when she was 92-years old!! The woman, who owed approximately $80,000 on her mortgage, had lived in the home for almost 60 years.
The 65-year-old son of the evicted woman stated he threw away all correspondence and notices from the court "because he didn't want to worry her" and "he was sure it wasn't going to happen." Property records show the taxes were paid on the home as through the summer of 2010 but were unpaid thereafter. The woman and her son are now living in a rental home nearby and she is working with a local non-profit agency to try to get her back in her home.
This situation shows no one is immune from the foreclosure machine. If you are facing a Florida Foreclosure Lawsuit all may not be lost.
