“This Woman Is Deranged!”

[Music] brought to you by the every dooll app start budgeting for free today Anna is in Detroit hey Anna welcome to the Ramsey Show Hi how are you thanks for having me sure what's up well um a little bit of a situation and I'm hoping maybe you can give me some advice um my husband bought our house from his mom um 19 years ago she had quite a few houses at the time and decided that she could sell one of them to him he was 19 at the time um went through a closing like with you know a proper close agent um and signed all the papers um he is the only name on the warranty deed um and has been responsible in living in this house for this past 19 years um a couple years ago she uh had asked us for quite a sum of money and we said we couldn't AF it so in retaliation she went to the county clerk and filed a fraudulent Quick Claim Deed on the house claiming that our house is now her house um there's no checks and balances with that system so yes there is it went it it went through and every oh yeah the checks and balances are you put her in jail for fraud yeah cuz she's a freaking cook she's a criminal it's been two years and we're still fighting and now um instead of getting our day in court they're saying that it's going to either cost us $220,000 um to take it to court or we can pay the ransom and maybe settle for something less and just pay to get rid of it to pay to get out of it you mean pay her yeah a settlement right so why have you not filed Criminal charges well we went I talked to the county clerk and she said oh you need to get an attorney to yeah you know the quiet title so that's what we did and and your attorney needed to tell you to advise you to fire criminal charges someone stole your house it just happens to be that you know the crook right that it's related but he he said well um that would be a separate lawsuit and that wouldn't get you the quiet title that you need to free up your your house that would a whole separate matter I'll you to get your quiet title but then maybe on another point and I'm like man we've always spent so much money trying to get the quiet title and so now we're really looking at maybe just calling the police and starting a report yeah I think I would okay I think I would file criminal charges on her and that's the thing we we thought maybe it was just a misstep because obviously this is not this is not someone that you have that your husband has a relationship with his mother no no mother right mind would act like this this woman is deranged how long has he known she's crazy a couple year well now it's been two years he didn't know she was crazy before this no it there was he was young and a single parent right so he how long have you been married uh about 16 17 years yeah how long have you known she was crazy cuz I figured it out in about 30 seconds there was a lot of you know kind of red flags when we were first dating but I I started dating him when we were 16 years old and so we were so young I think we were very um I I don't know it was just well you don't want your mom to be a crook or crazy nobody wants that Mom exactly but some people's moms are because obviously there's Crooks and crazy women and men out there so sometimes the dad is a you know I mean it just is very strong um Christian raising to honor your your mother and your father and um I think there was a lot of things that we just said no you know she just needs help no we can just pull her through no if we can just you know be there and and help her get up on her feet we did that for a lot of years and then finally I said you know what I told my husband either our household or hers but you can't be the man of both yeah and he chose our household that's that's when the crazy came out yeah when you set boundaries with crazy people it accentuates their crazy Henry Cloud teaches us that in boundaries years ago okay so you you've got some choices obviously there's no relationship left and it's a very sad situation so what is the most practical process here um it doesn't cost much to file a criminal complaint okay there's not a lot of cost involved in that it's why I'm shocked that this attorney in quotes didn't recommend that you do that as a part of The Quiet Title because here's the problem if your attorney that was quieting the title quieted the title and and then said deranged mother-in-law decides to file another one you get to do it over again and he stays in business the rest of his life so I want her having an incentive to stop this crap and that's called jail ex Yeah well yeah that she's not going to jail by the way darn it no she should I don't but they won't put her in jail they'll settle with her but she will get the message not to screw with y'all yeah okay who said it would cost 20 grand not to file a criminal it doesn't no no said they told me yes um our attorney we've already paid him 40 over the past two years to get a quiet title um and now we're to the last bit of it and he said you either settle or like take this to court yeah or fire him and get a real attorney that's another option I've called different attorneys but they said I'm too far no you're into the matter no you're not to get another one no you're not I've gotten all these stories and I guess I just need some real good uh counsel the problem is sometimes when you're dealing with uh lawyers they took the class on they're always right and they forget that they work for you right he's your employee he should do what you tell him to do or she should do tell do what you tell them to do and that's what lawyers are supposed to do but instead they took the class that where they tell you what to do and some of them are really confused by that class so sometimes us real people have to explain to them lawyer does not mean you do what you want to do means you do what I want you to do as long as it's within ethics and within the law and so yes yeah we need to this has not been aggressively enough to suit me in the discussion I'm having with you if this happened to me and I own a bunch of real estate I don't care who filed that uh I would have filed criminal the next day okay and I thought maybe I needed to get you know basically a judge to say yeah this is fraud before I could go to the criminal and and make that the judge says it's fraud it should quiet title instantaneously right because that invalidates the it invalidates take a judge ruling a fraud over to the county clerk and go judge says this is fraud you need to take this quick claim down they'll take it down that's should quiet that's the quieting of the title that's what it means it's the cleaning up of a dirty title because it's a fraudulent fraudulent thing God man some people who does this to their own kid you whacked chick unbelievable go to jail do not pass go do not collect $200 go straight to jail Monopoly she's collected enough it's over just like Monopoly create your free
