80 Year Old Dementia Patient Facing Foreclosure Tricked Into Signing Away Eight Parcels Of Land Worth $520K+, Says Suit

In Central Florida, WFTV Channel 9 reports:
  • A couple in Lake Mary is accused of walking into a Seminole County nursing home and tricking a woman diagnosed with dementia into signing away the rights to her property, worth more than half a million dollars. The couple is not related to the victim. The lawsuit says they didn't know her, but they found her property on a list of properties nearing foreclosure.

  • David and Laura Jane Roquemore are accused of sneaking into the secure dementia unit at the Florida Living Nursing Center two years ago and tricking 80-year-old Theolia Marin into signing multiple documents transferring eight parcels of land worth more than $520,000 [...] into their names. "They came in with prepared deeds and prepared contracts, ready to do business," said Marin's attorney Kyle Fletcher.
