A 103-year-old Atlanta woman and her 83-year-old daughter who face foreclosure were set to be evicted from their home of 53 years last week when sheriffs and a moving company refused to evict the women. The incident also sparked calls from local and state politicians and others to not evict the centenarian and her daughter.
The incident was one of several in the last few weeks in which good samaritans prevent what they view as wrongful foreclosures, AOL Real Estate News reports. In another recent occurence, a disabled veteran injured in Afghanistan was to be evicted from his Costa Mesa, Calif., home due to a foreclosure, but the case sparked a wave of donations from the community to prevent the foreclosure. In yet another instance, a vet was able to get his foreclosure stopped when more than 14,000 signatures from the community protested the foreclosure proceedings against him.
In the most recent case, JPMorgan Chase officials said it would do a work out deal with the 103-year-old woman and her daughter so that they could remain in the home. The property was foreclosed upon in March 2009, but the women have lived in the home as they fought the foreclosure in courts.
