War vet, 92, to be evicted from house he built after daughter rejects offer

[The Straight Story]

A 92-year-old veteran will be evicted from the house he built after his daughter rejected an offer to buy the home for above market value.

In February, John "Jack" Potter's daughter served notice to evict him from the home he built in Zaleski, Ohio, 56 years ago. An appeal court determined the eviction would stand.

Janice Cotrill allegedly used her power of attorney privileges to transfer the deed of the home to her name.

....

Potter's granddaughter, Jaclyn Fraley, went online to tell his story and solicit money to buy back the home and raised $139,603.

An appraisal valued the home at $47,000 plus land worth $2,830 and an offer was made, ABCNews reported. Cottrill rejected the offer with a counter-offer of $85,000 plus legal fees.

A second offer of $60,005.23 was rejected outright, ABCNews reported siting court documents that state "They find the offer unacceptable and decline the same."

5. My sisters robbed our mother of over 100,000, while she was dying. They dragged her to an

attorney, out of her mind on pain killers, made her go in alone and change her executor from me to one of them, five weeks. she did it thinking they would be nice to her before she died.

Some people are very evil when money is involved.

Poor old man...

How could a daughter do that to her own father. At least the granddaughter was doing the right thing.
