Madrid pensioner evicted by son, scammed of €350k by daughter

An 80-year-old woman from Madrid has been left homeless after one of her sons squatted in her house and another daughter allegedly defrauded her of a substantial sum.

Sometimes proverbs hit the mark. Ask **Loli**, an **80-year-old** woman living in Madrid who faced an unexpected twist of fate courtesy of her own offspring. Suffering from mobility issues, **Loli** owns two properties, yet neither serves as a refuge. One, in **Alcorcón**, was occupied by her son. For the other, a chalet in **Navalcarnero**, she holds **60%** ownership, having purchased it with her daughter, whom **Loli** claims defrauded her of approximately **€350,000**.

## A care plan gone wrong

**Loli**'s nightmare began in August **2025**. Due to health problems requiring several injections, her daughter proposed a plan: sell their current homes to buy a new one in **Navalcarnero** and live together so the daughter could care for her. **Loli** accepted. However, on the day she signed the sale of her apartment in **San José de Valderas** for **€305,000**, her daughter stated she could not sell her own property because it was tied up in a "Second Chance Law" (Spain's personal insolvency framework) process.

**Loli** admits she doesn't understand much about laws, but the fact is she never saw a euro from the sale. To make matters worse, her daughter had previously withdrawn **€46,000** from her bank account. The situation became unsustainable when they moved into the chalet. Coexistence issues started with trivialities like decoration. Her daughter convinced **Loli** to sell her furniture, which was in perfect condition, claiming it was "old and didn't fit." She bought a sideboard for her dishes, and her daughter placed a huge TV on top, refusing to let **Loli** add flowers or figurines. **Loli** shouted multiple times: "This is my house too!" Tension escalated. Her daughter locked most of **Loli**'s belongings in the basement, refusing to give her a key copy. **Loli** called the Civil Guard, but it proved futile.

## The mother's eviction

Desperate, **Loli** broke the basement lock with a hammer. This triggered another intervention by the Civil Guard, who tried to mediate, but the relationship was already broken. At **80 years old**, **Loli** found herself in a situation she never imagined, forced to leave the chalet. She took refuge in her partner's apartment, taking advantage of his daughter being away on vacation. From there, she decided to file a complaint against her daughter.

She also reported her **28-year-old** grandson, describing him as a "NEET" (not engaged in education, employment, or training) who "doesn't love himself or his grandparents." The incident leading to this report occurred when **Loli**, angry, removed food from her daughter's fridge. Her grandson grabbed her arms tightly, causing significant bruising. The case went to trial, and a judge imposed a **300-meter** restraining order on the young man regarding his grandmother and ordered him to pay **€50**.

## The house occupied by the son

Currently, **Loli** lives off her savings in a small rented apartment in a town near Madrid while waiting for justice to act. Her original plan was to sell her other property, an elevator-less apartment in **Alcorcón**, and use the money to buy a ground-floor home suitable for her physical condition. But she faced an insurmountable obstacle: her **60-year-old** unemployed son has squatted in that dwelling and refuses to leave. "He tells me he'll only leave feet first...", **Loli** recounts.

To resolve this and get her son out as soon as possible, **Loli** hired **Rogelio Gómez**, president of OPS2 servicios, a company specializing in removing illegal occupants, who has sent formal notices. **Gómez** is attempting to mediate both cases, which are now in court. He describes the son as "quite peculiar," hinting at possible addictions, noting his total refusal to leave. "Imagine the situation: he squats on his own mother and will be evicted by her," comments **Gómez**. Regarding the daughter, he adds, "she won't let her mother enter her own house, even though she owns **60%**..." **Loli** has a third daughter who does not speak to her siblings and prefers to stay neutral, but gave her mother advice that resonates strongly: "Spend the money on yourself and don't leave it to anyone."
