Mississippi woman offers warning after losing home

OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. — A Mississippi woman is searching for answers as legal issues mount regarding her home.

As Marcia Naylor was dealing with the grief of the sudden death of her husband, she found herself trying to take care of herself and two grandchildren all alone.

As bills piled up, a family member of Naylor’s introduced her to a company that claimed they could help her.

However, that help never came.

“He (said he) would borrow money against my house to give me wiggle room,” Naylor said. “I didn’t sign anything. He asked me to share with him a copy of the deed of trust to my home.”

That decision proved costly because it led to her losing her home.

Naylor says she was forced to move out of after a judge obtained a quitclaim deed for her house.

House illegally transferred while owner was in hospice, police say

“He upholds that document and tells me I have to be out of my home and that I’ve been squatting in my home for I don’t know how long.”

Naylor is currently renting a house for her and her grandchildren.
