She had the title put solely in her name and when she had all of my dads property and money she kicked my dad out of the house stating good luck with your four dollars. We found out after the fact that she has mislead my dad to believing the house was in his name, his other property was in his name to find out she has stolen it all. EVERYTHING he owned is in her name without his knowledge or consent. She lied to my dad telling him the house was his when in fact she had it put in her name by my brother who thought that when she went to the attorney it would be in dads name to find out she lied ot the attorney and told the attorney she was the buyer, well yeah by defrauding my father out of it Told him he didn't need to sign the title told him he didn't need to do anything that she had it taken care of .
