Believing they had successfully tricked the old mother into signing over all her property, the son and his wife triumphantly expelled their elderly mother… but just 48 hours later, she returned carrying something that chilled their blood.

In Cebu City lived 82-year-old Lola Maria with her youngest son, Carlos, and his wife, Lina.

Lately, the couple had noticed that Lola was becoming forgetful: sometimes she repeated the same questions, other times she forgot where she had left her things.

One evening, while sitting on the terrace, Lina whispered to her husband:

“If we get Mom to sign the deed of transfer, the house will be ours. It will be easy… she is old and gullible.”

“Yes. We’ll just tell her it’s a medical certificate. She won’t know it’s actually a transfer of ownership.”

The next day, they took Lola to the town hall, pretending it was for a medical checkup and the notarization of some “medical documents.”
In reality, they were having her sign a document transferring ownership of the house—valued at over five million pesos—to Carlos’s name.

Suspecting nothing, Lola signed it.

When they returned home, the couple said:

“Mom, maybe you can stay with some relatives for now. We’re going to renovate the house to make it more beautiful.”

Lola Maria remained silent.

Her husband, Lolo Ben, was furious. That same night, he took Lola out of the house, carrying only a few clothes, and they left for his nephew’s house in Bohol province.
