Fatima didn't know how to read or write, signed a paper and ended up without her house: "When they give me a house, I already have one in Benfica cemetery"

A Portuguese elderly woman named Fatima, illiterate, trusted her then husband to handle documents related to the house she had inherited from her grandmother, ending up signing a document she couldn't understand. Years later, during the divorce, she discovered the property was already in her ex-partner's name and, at the time of the report, was living in a room while waiting for a social housing solution. Renascenca emphasizes that this is only Fatima's version, with no court decision proving the transfer of the property. The article warns about the risks of signing documents without understanding them and recalls that 27% of elderly people aged 65 or older living alone were at risk of poverty in 2024.
