OHIO MAN USING A SCHEME TO SNATCH UP ‘ABANDONED’ HOUSES THAT’S SO ABSURD IT’S SCARY TO THINK IT’S ACTUALLY WORKING

A Springdale, Ohio, family was shocked when they returned from a visit to a dying relative to find that a stranger had moved into their house and changed the locks – and even more shocked to learn that the intruder may have the law on his side.

The family, who asked to remain anonymous, is moving to Pittsburgh and a local bank is foreclosing on their home of 21 years in Ohio. However, the bank had nothing to do with emptying the Ohio house and changing the locks – the new “owner” did that.

The situation has escalated into an all out legal battle, with the man saying he has the documents to prove he’s the rightful owner of the family’s home.

It's called Right Of Adverse Possession and it's legal. If occupy a property openly and notoriously for a certain period of time it becomes yours if nobody objects. It usually has to be something like seven or ten years, though.

He doesn't have to live "full time" in the property. Do you live in your house 24/7 ?

Maybe those folks should have paid their mortgage instead of "walking away".

Well, when you have a dying relative you tend to do whatever it takes to get there. Don't think anybody would come to see you. Idiot.

A dying relative sounded better then going away on Vacation. Idiot. Don't believe everything you read.

Sure are a lot of 'idiots' in these comments. I am thankful I don't know any of you that are so quick to call names.

Happy turkey day

Changing the topic slightly,why have all of the real estate infomercials stopped? Several years ago they would be on for hours.Each would have their own strategy for getting rich in real estate.Unless I'm watching the wrong channels I haven't seen one in a long time.
