91-Year-Old Man Raises Money to Prevent Eviction by Daughter A 91-year-old man wants to stop his daughter from evicting him from the home he built 56 years ago in Zaleski, Ohio, a small community south of Columbus. In 2004, John Potter and his wife, who has since died, gave the general power of attorney to his daughter for future matters if they declined in health, including to take care of her autistic adult brother, now 63. But unbeknownst to Potter, his daughter Janice Cottrill eventually used that power to convey the deed to the one-story home to herself. In 2010, Potter said he learned of the deed transfer and switched power of attorney to his granddaughter, Jaclyn Fraley, now 35. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/91-year-ohio-man-evicted-home-daughter/story?id=19134306#.UZO-v8pEqMc Potter, a World War II veteran and retired train dispatcher for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, sued to get the home back, arguing that his daughter had transferred the deed to herself illegally because those with the power of attorney are not permitted to transfer assets to themselves from the estate they oversee. Potter won in Vinton County Court, but an appeals court ruled last year that the statute of limitations of four years had passed on the accusation of fraud and thus the deed could not be handed back to Potter. Early this year, his daughter and her husband sent Potter an eviction notice, saying they had terminated his "existing lease." An eviction hearing will take place on June 12, during which the judge will have no choice but to evict Potter, Fraley told ABC News. When asked how he feels about being evicted by his daughter and son-in-law, Potter was at a loss for words. "I just cannot believe my daughter would ever do anything like that to me," he said. Janice Cottrill declined to comment. "The case is currently pending in the Vinton County Court and we will let the court decide the issues," said Lorene Johnston, an attorney for Cottrill. Fraley, a nurse who moved to Columbus, Ohio, from San Diego to be closer to her grandfather, said she has not been on pleasant terms with her mother and stepfather for the last two years or so, when she learned that they had tried to place her grandfather in a nursing home, she said.
My Uncle evicted my 86 and 85 year old grandparents from their house 5 years ago. My mother bought the house next to us and gave it to them and no one in the family speaks to my uncle as a result.
Well, if it's the rules and the law, she is in her right to evict him. Rules are rules. - SwoLy-D stamp of approval. Spoiler GOTCHA. Yeah, the daughter is a B I tee see H.
Americans.... By Americans, I mean those who reside in American and have lost/cut all roots to their homeland. I am American, but still have my roots
definitely white. almost guarantee the daughter will claim she was sexually abused by him and thats why she's doing this to him. Whether true or not, who knows, but I'm pretty convinced thats what her defense will be once this thing goes viral.
If I was that old and my children did that to me, I'd kill them. Obviously, I didn't do a great job raising them if they'd be that cold to their elders.
A scumbag ass hole. The guy is literally one of the worst human beings I have ever met. These people have no souls
Only gringos turn their backs on familia. Latinos just build a coocuy room in the back or convert the garage into a bedroom...hence the need to park our cars on the lawn.
her father and a veteran no less? what a b****. She'll get what she has coming to her at some point in time
