Anger Erupts in Atlanta: Family Claims Squatters Seized Father's Home Just Days After His Passing, Advertising House Parties Online

Days after the passing of their father, an Atlanta family discovered multiple squatters had invaded their childhood residence, promoting house parties on social media. The Oliver family reported that just two days after the loss, intruders moved into their father’s DeKalb County home. Videos showcasing the property and advertising pool parties began circulating quickly. “It is a nightmare,” lamented Lisa Heath, one of the home’s co-owners. Frustrated, Marcus Oliver added, “It’s infuriating to see people in the home destroying it.” Upon notifying local authorities, the squatters presented a purported lease, claiming legality. Kevin Oliver confronted them and faced threatening behavior from one individual armed with a rifle. The Olivers filed a squatters’ affidavit under the Georgia Squatter Reform Act, demanding proof of residence by June 3 or facing removal.
