👮♀️. A 65-year-old Daytona Beach man faces seventeen charges after allegedly seizing seven properties belonging to his late son — beginning five days after the son died in May 2022. The properties, collectively worth over $1.6 million, had been intended for the son's wife and children. Investigators say the father filed fraudulent deed transfers using forged signatures, then moved the properties again into the names of his own wife and daughters to obscure the trail. A handwriting analyst found the signatures unconvincing. Security footage contradicted key claims about when documents were supposedly signed. The son's widow pursued civil action, eventually winning legal appointment as the estate's representative. The father remains in custody on $425,000 bail. Additional charges are expected.

🦁The Ormond-by-the-Sea Lions Club spent March quietly putting in the kind of work that rarely makes headlines but holds communities together. Members helped host a birthday celebration for unhoused residents at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, where people living without a permanent address received gifts, blankets, and a cupcake with a candle — small gestures that carry significant weight. Other members ran blood sugar and vision screenings at a Veterans Stand Down event in Deltona, serving 34 and 20 participants respectively. Two club members graduated from a regional leadership institute while two others served as instructors. Fourteen volunteers ran shifts during White Cane Weekend to raise funds for the visually impaired. The club meets next Wednesday, April 8, at 6:30 p.m. at GraceLife Beachside Church, 6 Sandra Drive.
