89-Year-Old Woman Gets Back At Neighbors After She Gets Evicted

Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands

Mrs. Anderson was devastated. She couldn’t believe her own son had betrayed her trust and her neighbors were so heartless. She couldn’t accept that her home of fifty years was gone.

But instead of giving up, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She started to do her own research to try and help herself.

Legal Experience

She felt a little drained each time by doing these things at her age. But she knew she had to fight this because something didn’t add up at all.

With her legal experience, she might be able to figure something out. But first, she needed to get a copy of the signed documents. It wouldn’t be easy.

Tough Situation

She contacted the lawyer she knew her son had used. Tears fell down her face as she realized how dishonest her son had been.

It was a process in itself. The lawyer was unwilling to hand over any copies of the documents to her. But when Mrs. Anderson explained her situation to him, he finally gave in.

Building Supplies

In the meantime, Mrs. Anderson watched as trucks with building supplies began pulling up in the street of her house. But she knew it was actually meant for her own backyard.

The neighbors had made no secret of the fact that they wanted to expand the area, and that’s why they had issued the eviction notice to Mrs. Anderson in the first place.

Basically Homeless

She was basically homeless at this point. She was staying with a friend down the road from her house. She didn’t want to be too far away.

But she knew she had to do something before the nasty neighbors began construction on her beloved house. It would tear her to pieces if they so much as lifted a hammer to her outside walls.

A Bad Son

And all this time, she had heard nothing from her son, Jacob. Mrs. Anderson was heartbroken that he hadn’t even come to check on her. She wished he had treated his elderly mother better.

But things were about to get ten times worse for Mrs. Anderson. She had received a copy of the documents, and she couldn’t believe what she was looking at.

No Recollection Of Signing

She could see all the names of the parties involved, but there was one thing that didn’t look right. Her name was on it with her signature, but she never signed anything.

She had no recollection of Jacob ever bringing her any documents to sign. Mrs. Anderson huffed in frustration. This could only mean one thing. Her son had forged her signature on the sale documents. Now she was angry beyond belief.

Payback

Sure, she was an 89-year-old woman, but as far as she knew, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her memory. Maybe Jacob thought that he could get away with something like this because she wouldn’t put up a fight.

But boy, was he wrong. They were all wrong, and they were going to pay for what they were putting her through.

Time To Fight

Mrs. Anderson knew that this would mean that she would be dragging her own son to court. But she had no choice.

He hadn’t even stopped to think about what all of this would do to her, and now she had to live out the rest of her years in the spare room of someone else’s house.

No. She had had enough, and it was time to fight for herself and her beloved house.

A Long Battle

The legal battle was a long and arduous one, but Mrs. Anderson was determined to get justice. She had to prove that her son had committed fraud and that her neighbors had knowingly purchased stolen property.

The court proceedings were stressful, and Mrs. Anderson’s health began to deteriorate, but she refused to give up.

Ashamed

On the day when they all appeared in court, Jacob stood with his head bowed. He knew what he had done, and for the first time in all her years, Mrs. Anderson was ashamed of her own flesh and blood.

He couldn’t even look at his own mother, and although Mrs. Anderson was not a vengeful person, her son had gone too far.

A Win

It was a long fight, but finally, after months of fighting, Mrs. Anderson got her much-awaited victory. The court ruled in her favor and declared the sale of her property invalid.

Her son was found guilty of forgery, and her neighbors were ordered to return the property to her. For the first time, Jacon was able to look at her and apologize for what he had done.

Starting Over

Of course, Mrs. Anderson forgave him. She knew that he, too, had been going through a hard time. Mrs. Anderson knew that starting over at her age would be challenging, but she was up for it.

She used the compensation she received from the lawsuit to renovate her home and make it more accessible for her.

A Community of Support

The whole community rallied around Mrs. Anderson. They were outraged by what had happened to her and wanted to help her in any way they could.

They offered to help with the renovations, provided her with meals, and even offered to mow her lawn. Mrs. Anderson was overwhelmed that so many people cared about her.

A New Perspective

But the whole ordeal had also changed Mrs. Anderson. She had always been a trusting and naive person, but now she had a new perspective on life.

Her own son had betrayed her, and she was now more careful than ever. She had learned that not everyone has good intentions and that she needed to be on her guard at all times.
