Christine Nocar can't get it out of her head: How could something go so wrong? When her 92-year-old mother, Dorothy Hart, died in January, Nocar handled everything, including the sale of her mother's home in Rosedale.
"At this point, I lost my mother's house and I lost the money," Nocar said.
Nocar received a $164,000 check, but a few days after depositing it, her bank stopped payment because of an order coming from Karas and Bradford, the law firm handling the settlement. The funds were redirected to someone else's account.
Nocar contacted the settlement company.
"They basically didn't tell me anything. They said they were going to try and stop the money from going into this account that they put it into, and they were too late. The money had already cleared, and whoever did it got the money," Nocar said.

Absolutely ridiculous. What foolish law firm wouldn't verify it directly with their client first?

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the lawyers and bankers got scammed, not the daughter! They have to give her her money and take the lumps themselves!
ReplyDeleteI believe someone in that law office is in on that scam……..or they are just incompetent.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. They had her money and lost it. It is not her fault it is law firms fault.
