In Dayton, Ohio, a woman has finally regained legal ownership of her home after a two-year battle against quit claim deed fraud. Robin Mobley discovered in 2023 that her house was no longer in her name, the result of forged paperwork that transferred ownership without her knowledge. After a lengthy court process, a judge ruled the fraudulent deed invalid in 2024, and multiple appeals—including an attempt to escalate to the Ohio Supreme Court—were ultimately rejected, affirming Mobley’s right to keep her property.
“It’s funny how you could be the victim, but you still have to go through all these things, and all these steps, and there’s no one to assist you or guide you,” said Mobley.
Mobley’s case highlights how devastating deed fraud can be, leaving victims to fight uphill legal battles just to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. She has spoken publicly about her experience, calling for stronger protections and reforms to prevent other Ohio homeowners from enduring the same ordeal. While Mobley finally retained her home, she faces lingering damage from the period it was under fraudulent control, underscoring the long-term toll of property scams.
