Why are you not showing the face of this criminal? How is this not straight theft or at least fraud? The signed document is proof of fraud. She was not alive.

[@justaguyinthematrix]

She's not a criminal. The home owner is. It's clear no one was living in it. We have a housing crisis in this country, dude. If you have more houses than you need, expect this to happen. I FULLY SUPPORT SQUATTERS. Afterall, the whites have been squatting on my land for generations. Get off my land, first. Then you can complain about it happening to you

[@chairmanofthebored8684]

The squatter was not arrested and he hasn't been charged with a crime.

[@bubba6989]

The fact a person who has been dead for 7 years somehow magically signed a lease should make this case open and shut. The theif should face jail time

[@GoldFever44]

Why the hell is it so easy to file a false deed? Check IDs for crying out loud. Even make a title search a part of the process for confirmation. Don't be surprised when crooks take advantage of such ridiculous loop holes....total failure of the recorder's court.

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

No, we need finger prints and biometrics.

[@never4saken165]

When they request an ID they also need to take a photo of the person because fake IDs are easily made daily

[@roninthedestroyer8958]

It's amazing that you can break into a house change the locks and call it yours.

[@mikepicsatl6915]

His last name is pronounced Bay (Bey) It’s one of them i don’t need a drivers license strawman theory i’m a sovereign citizen all caps on my name is a corporation funny hat wearing dudes 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeganas5436]

The Moops!

[@AB-KB8]

This is so stupid and obvious that these people never even owned a car lol. The incompetence is off the charts

[@missladyj247]

it’s ridiculous that she has to go through all this. when it’s clear the mother was deceased and didn’t sign the paperwork

[@paradise6606]

This is wrong on so many levels it's unreal.

[@MsAchampion]

My God. 😢 🙏🏾

[@beekaye1496]

People are so lazy and just straight out stupid forging names on documents.

[@Miss_Cherry]

Looks like the "squatter" may have been scammed too. This is another loop hole that will cause issues. What about people being scammed into thinking they are paying rent to a legitimate landlord, and it turns out to be a fraudulent deed? So you're just screwed out of a rental and money?

[@DoobieDeb]

Oh HELL NO

[@MidnightinSavannah]

It's partly her fault for not doing anything with the house. Weeds and trees don't get that big in 4 months.

[@keithb6717]

No. Democrat?

[@bbrcummins1984]

It's all good until it's your house , RIGHT Skippy ?

[@Musicball]

I don't care if the roof was caving in. The house belonged to her and no one had the right to take it from her. This didn't happen because of weeds and trees. It happened because a thief stole it by fraud.

[@iamherefortheshow699]

@@Musicball I think the person is saying she should have deeded the home to herself she was over their affairs after they died. Why is it still in her parents' name they are deceased. Also as the owner, she should have done her due diligence in securing the property or selling it to someone. I am sure the neighbors are upset about the abandoned unkempt home. I would be pissed.

[@Musicball]

@@iamherefortheshow699 Didn't her father die a year ago? Who knows what all this woman has going on in her life. I would think too, and correct me if I'm wrong, that it wouldn't matter whose name was on the deed. Legally when her father died, the house became hers and any siblings she might have.

[@user-uc9rz7oy8p]

This is B&E and they should get automatic 10 years

[@GeorgiaWhisper]

I think the new buyers should be held partially responsible. Thwy should do their due diligence to assure it's not a scam. However sometimes the new buyers are n n the scam.

[@teresablair6398]

It complicated????

[@27Killermike]

See, this is really squatters because that's what happens when you just leave a home.

[@janespitfire9884]

Can they squat in apartment complexes?

[@Omar_Zazzle]

They do.

[@jonesy4588]

yeah they think its owed to them

[@commonsenseisntcommon1776]

Blax

[@firewater365]

Did you feel good after hitting send.? Whew..you’re pathetic

[@Vv08991]

0:47 Why are they standing so far apart 😂😂

[@jeanineruggs7301]

My God.....what happened to giving the news with dignity.....that dress is to revealing

[@soundsoftherainpouringfrom1938]

Her dress is not revealing Lol!!!

[@firewater365]

You big dummy…….

[@msjulie9592]

This should have been squashed and reversed immediately when she provided her mother's death certificate showing the fraud. Then, the fraudster should have been arrested and jailed. This should not even be a thing. It's a process to purchase a home with lots of verification so why on earth should anyone anywhere be able to walk into an office and just say this is mine? That's where the problem lies.

[@marilynnschroeder4436]

Very disorganized reporting. Very hard to understand.

[@christinabennett9280]

Usual suspects!

[@loisrussell3649]

Geez foriegn name send any kind of signals up for anyone other than me???

[@halfdeadedlifereturningwit3420]

What do you expect with the last name Bey. Moorish Nationals always thieving.
