A South Carolina home care nurse allegedly took ownership of her elderly patient’s house for $5 before he died.
Robert Rowland, 75, had Parkinson’s and a brain injury. His daughter drove in from out of state to check on him, reports Law & Crime.
That’s when the nurse, Sarah Smalls, answered the video doorbell and told her he was dead and the house was now hers.
Records show Smalls became his power of attorney in April. Weeks later, on April 17, a quitclaim deed transferred the Conway house to her for $5.
Bank statements show money moving from his account to Smalls, including after he died in June.
Nora said she walked into a remodeled house with fresh paint and photos of people she did not know.
A neighbor had already called senior services after seeing furniture hauled out and noticing Robert was not himself.
Police came on a trespassing call, briefly handcuffed Nora and her partner and then dropped the charges.
Griswold Home Care says it did not know about the deed or the transfers. County deed officials say they record paperwork that meets basic legal rules and do not check whether a deal is fair.
Conway police are investigating possible exploitation of a vulnerable adult, and no arrests have been reported.
