An elderly couple is suing their daughter for deceit after she allegedly got them to sign their house over to her and then put them in a nursing home.
According to the complaint, Overton and Bernice Williams were both born in 1917 and are "unsophisticated in legal matters." They lived in their home in Chicago with their daughter, defendant Leshia Williams, who they trusted "implicitly as to all their financial affairs," until she got them to execute a quitclaim deed in 2006 and took out a home equity loan on the house in 2008.
A few months after receiving the loan proceeds, Leshia placed her parents in a nursing home and told her mother not to go back home and "actually took the keys out of her mother's purse and retained them."
Later, the Williams' son removed them from the nursing home and brought them to live with him in Alaska, where they live now.
They want the house back in their name and for their daughter to return all loan proceeds.
