I'll fight it. The Hanisch's were shocked to realize they didn't own their home anymore. Their case is not an isolated incident. Our investigation found six other families who signed their homes over to Richard Boon under similar circumstances. Now the Winnipeg police are investigating whether Boon used deception to get the families to sign away their properties.
Police say they are questioning some of the documents in several of Boon's deals.
For example, on the Hanisch's copy of the house transfer, there is no witness signature. But the copy filed at the Winnipeg Land Titles office shows a signature of someone the Hanisch's say was never in their house and never saw them sign anything. The office has admitted to making at least one mistake in Boon's deals. In one case, a man clearly signed for his wife and then the witness signed an affadavit claiming he saw both of them sign. It shouldn't have gone through.
