Man lays claim to home of family out of town visiting dying relative

An Ohio family is embroiled in a court fight with a man who moved into their home while they were out of town visiting a dying relative. WLWT News 5 reports the Springdale squatter — Robert Carr — produced a document he’d filed with the local county court when confronted by the displaced family. Carr, who changed the locks on the home and emptied the property of the family’s belongings, says the document -- a so-called “quiet title”-- lays a legitimate claim to the property because the family living there for 21 years had abandoned the home.
