Home sold for 50 dollars shocks Delaware County family
A Yeadon couple learned their fully paid stone twin house was sold at a Friday sheriff sale for 50 dollars to 211 West Inc of Cheltenham. The family says they were never notified and believe the sale was an error. Sheriff Taylor confirmed the bid, calling it a mistake and saying he did his job with about 60 onlookers present. An attorney for the mortgage holder questioned why the home went on sale and said he would seek to void the purchase, while the couple vows to recover deed and continue to fight the sale.

Battle offers legal help to save home from $50 sale
Chester Mayor Joseph Battle announced free legal aid for the Yeadon Monzes family facing sheriff sale over a $50 bid. Delaware County officials backed a path via equity petition in Common Pleas court to void the sale, while legal aid advocates noted no existing Pennsylvania law blocks such injustice and a state bill aims to require 70 percent of fair market value from speculators.
