Man Moves Into Home While Family Is Away And Claims He Now Owns It

SPRINGDALE, Ohio (CBS Cleveland) – Imagine going out of town to visit a dying relative only to come home and find a complete stranger living in your house; and worse, that stranger now says he legally owns that house.

WLWT-TV reported that Robert Carr moved into a house, changed the locks, and emptied the house.

Carr says he is able to claim the property through something called a “quiet title.” He says the family abandoned the house and gave up their rights.

Carr wants to keep the home and not have to pay a penny.

“What he’s looking for is full title and ownership of the home,” Alison Warner, the family’s attorney, told WLWT. “He’s in their home. They don’t know when he’s there. He can be there now.”

The family has charged Carr with breaking and entering but he is even fighting that charge.

A quiet title action lawsuit brought in a court over property disputes. It is used to establish who legally owns a property.

The FBI has been informed about this case.

“They’ll come together as groups to receive training, how to conduct some of these schemes from a financial standpoint, to understand what they consider the common law and how they can use that common law for their sovereign purposes,” Special Agent in Charge Kevin Cornelius told WLWT. “I’m not familiar with any cases where it’s held up in court. I think that it holds up the process of the court’s decision.”

The family in this case has called this ordeal a nightmare.

“It’s really been hard,” the homeowner told the station.

This story has been repeated on all over the country, but the most ironic one I've seen yet is this:

"Occupy Wall Street" asserts squatter's rights to single dad's home, gives it to "homeless" family

A previous article quoted an expert to the effect that adverse possession is the only authentic legal doctrine under which this could be done.

But to take title by adverse possession, in most states, the claimant must prove he has occupied the property continuously for something like 15 - 30 years (depending on the state).

“...only to come home and find a complete stranger living in your house”

Déjà vu! I thought we went through this already in the “white” house. Some stranger living there, can’t seem to get rid of him, and all.

It’s too bad our society has litigated out the “punch in the mouth” solution...

Now, about all you can do with someone like this is let him get away with it or kill him.

Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be a fatal shot. However, in Mr. Carr’s case you would also hit his head.

a double tap is what is required. the mistake is using a half measure, when a full measure is required.

Spray him with 3” #7 buckshot from a keltec bull pup and turn him into a sieve.

He’ll seek medical help, go to the hospital and while he is out you can change the locks, move back in.

I’d get five rottweilers from East LA on the property STAT and place two PHALANX Gatling guns on the roof.

One on the NE corner, the other on the SW corner.

Then install Fort Knox doors on the front and back door.

Place two Claymores wherever someone can enter(remember to fsce them outward).

Should be good to go after that.

This is nonsense the person is engaged in trespass and fraud. Quiet Title does not give you the right to take someone else home, this person is going to go to jail for a long time.

This could have all been solved a long time ago with a simple scream of panic followed by some ventilation.

at common law, an adverse possession claim has several technical requirements and requires 20 years possession to ripen into a new ownership

(i do not know if Ohio has modified the rule or not, some states have lessened the 20 years requirement for instance...)

Prior to shooting him we'd have to have a little talk about where he took my possessions.

So where are the cops throwing this thief in jail? Carr isn’t a renter. This isn’t just a civil case. He destroyed this families property and took their home.

They need a better lawyer cause this is still ongoing.

Entitlement. Notice something about the criminal? Have anything to do with a “gibs me dat” mentality? Have anything to do with an eeevvvviiiilllll ‘oppressor’ and an innocent ‘oppressed’ person walking in and taking what is ‘rightfully’ his?

The fact that the police did not arrest him for breaking-and-entering, I would say there is more here than meets the eye.
