FORT PIERCE, Florida (WPBF) — A Fort Pierce senior unknowingly signed over his home, and is now getting evicted.

Selling a home in Florida isn’t always a complicated affair. You can actually transfer ownership just by signing a special deed and having it notarized.

People usually do this in cases of divorce, or when giving a home to their relatives. But the same process is also an easy way for a vulnerable person to unknowingly sign away their home.

That’s what Claude Frye, 66, said happened to him, according to court records.

This week, Frye is selling his mother’s trinkets in his driveway, hoping to make a little cash.

After 23 years of living in this house, Frye is being evicted. Because somehow, Frye signed over the deed to his house for a mere $10 — a house that just sold to a third buyer for $185,000.
