Preventing Unlawful Home Eviction

Summary

In Florida, eviction requires a legal process. Fraudulent power of attorney is serious and should be reported to law enforcement. Seek legal advice to challenge the power of attorney and prevent the sale of the house. You can file for a restraining order to halt the property sale and use forms to prevent eviction. Contact Jacksonville Legal Aid for assistance with these forms. Banks have privacy rules and cant share personal information, but a court proceeding may help obtain the necessary names. Consult a lawyer for further guidance.
