A real estate listing advertised it as a renovated four-bedroom property with “clean investment ownership.” I stared at the photographs online.

The kitchen cabinets had been painted black.

Dad’s apple tree had been cut down.

My lawyer filed an appropriate civil action challenging the transfer and sought temporary relief against a sale while ownership was disputed.

The court required documentation, notice, and a hearing.

At the hearing, the attorney for Silver Lantern argued that the company had obtained the property through valid recorded instruments.

Lena presented the discrepancy between the notarization date and my incarceration records, along with handwriting concerns that warranted professional examination.
