You don't see the difference between a 65 year old woman and a 103 year old woman? Are you serious?
In this particular case the woman has lived in her home for 53 years. She probably had the house all paid off and some banker thought it was wise to loan her money off the value of her home when she was in her 90s.
Sorry I'm as capitalist as the next guy but if banks want to make foolish lending decisions they should not expect the rest of us to do their dirty work for them. I'm with the sheriff and movers no way I'm kicking out a 100+ old woman and her 80 year old daughter on to the street.
I'm going to play devils advocate, if the banks have a court order, shouldnj't the deputies follow the law? I thought you were for abiding by the law.
Sometimes simply following orders is not good enough. I know it's a thin line between the rule of law and anarchy but I would have quit before I threw them out on the street. In this case you would most likely have to physically remove a frail old woman. I'm not down with that. The bankers can do this eviction themselves.

So where do you draw the line? At 99? Where is that written?

In her 90+ years of life, she didnt figure out not to borrow money she couldnt afford to pay back?

Why is lending people money foolish because they are old? They have stable incomes for the rest of their life and normally tons of equity. Thats not foolish at all, unless of course you believe banks should be discriminating against old people and not providing them loans

Did you find out where you can send a check to pay their mortgage payment for them? Put your money where your mouth is

No they can't. Self-help eviction is illegal and often even a criminal offense. If the bank has gained lawful possession of the property and the occupant does not leave voluntarily, then eviction by sheriff is their only legal recourse. If the sheriff refuses then the court should either order them to do it or order the sheriff's department to compensate the bank for the loss of their property.

I know in the olden days business owners would hire their own private security firms to do their dirty work, not sure if it was legal or not, but it happened.
However, there is the possibility of dementia causing them to forget some thing from time to time.
Then they need to have a court-appointed conservator.
If they have been in and out of court for a period of time over this. Then they KNEW well in advance that they were going to have to move. They refused to accept that thinking that when the time came they could just plead "old and forgetful" and that everything would be ok.
These are the same people who fight for "equality" when it benefits or suits them. You cannot have it both ways.
I have a funny feeling that someplace there are relatives who would have/could have/should have helped with this situation. But even so, that's no excuse.
