A Maryland daughter has claimed that the nurse who provided home care to her father battling Parkinson’s transferred the deed to his South Carolina property for just $5 before he died.
Nora Rowland not only learned that the property rights to her 75-year-old father Robert Rowland’s home had been transferred, but also that he had died when she paid what she thought would’ve just been a routine visit on Father’s Day in June 2024, WMBF reported last Thursday.
Robert Rowland, who lived in Conway, received visits from his nurse Sarah Smalls in March 2024 before he was moved into a senior living facility weeks later due to his ailing health — unbeknownst to his daughter.
Nora Rowland, who lives in Baltimore, Md., became alarmed that their contact dramatically reduced over time, which was uncharacteristic, so she traveled around 460 miles to visit him.
“My dad was always a daddy’s girl type thing, so it was always me and him throughout my whole life,” she told WMBF. “We FaceTimed every week.”
Rowland’s suspicions increased when she had to press a Ring doorbell – a device she knew her father didn’t install.
She was met by Smalls, who then stunned her with the tragic news.
“This isn’t the way that I wanted to tell you, but your dad died, and there’s a bunch of other stuff I have to tell you too. Just wait there,” Smalls said, according to Rowland.
Rowland then climbed through a window before discovering that the home’s walls had been painted with what she described as a “god-awful highlighter orange” and “random photographs” had been put up.
“Oh my God! Everything is gone! Who the f–k are these people?” she was heard yelling in footage she had recorded.

The caregiver had Power of Attorney. The father wasn’t that far away. Daughter should thank the nurse for getting him the help he needed.
Sniff, sniff. Somethings not right here, but it's hard to tell what from a news article.
I sold all my jewelry a few years back and divided the cash among my children. I’m 82...
Yep
Yep
Oddly, it can work the other way too, occasionally. My 92-year-old MIL was in an upscale nursing home for several years before she passed. She had all of the deficits one might expect of someone that age, except one: she was a phenomenal bingo player. Bingo was a popular daily activity there and it was played for cash prizes, gathered without deduction from the fee each player paid per game. My MIL won most games, playing five or more cards simultaneously. She would walk (or hobble) away each day with a considerable sum, which she would donate to the Catholic Church whenever the priest came by each week to see her. Eventually, the families of the other residents began to wonder where their parent’s money was going, and when they found out, it was a bit of a scandal.
I’m 78 and am thinking about what to do with my stuff. I have no children.
That’s funny. The Granny Gambler. 😆
Bkmk
“ I’m 78 and am thinking about what to do with my stuff. I have no children.”
I accept donations of gold, silver and cash. DM me for a ship to address! 🤣😂
Will keep that in mind - LOL!
these obviously badly written articles now are generally BS output from some AI or other and not scrutinized by a fact checker, at least not one who gives a damn ...
The big fight will be over the Josh Allen Bills Poster...lol
I have no problem being a racist. I would never hire a black to care for a family member. What the hell did the daughter expect from a fat bonnet wearing low life? Scott Adams’ meme applies here.
Neighbors.....
“”””To add insult to injury, wait till the daughter now sees how her father continues to vote”””””
And is a newly baptised Mormon.
I loved his sense of humor. He and Rush were both funny but in different ways.
Her husband may feel differently.
