According to the report shared online, the complaint alleges that the pair had a verbal agreement about how Efferson was allowed to live in the LA property from 1988 onwards; however, conflict between them arose earlier this summer when Wonder’s attorneys had told her that she would need to provide access to inspectors from an insurance company since the house was still in the singer’s name.An email that was sent to Efferson by the inspection company stated that people from the firm will visit the house on July 30 to “conduct an inspection for the purposes of maintaining insurance coverage on the property.” However, the complainant added that despite being informed about the visit well in advance, Efferson refused the officers to do their due diligence and instead told the attorneys she was “feeling harassed” and that she did “not consent” to the inspection.Efferson later sent a follow-up mail to Wonder’s attorneys, which read, “You do not have my permission to step onto the property for any reason. If you or any other representatives attempt to enter my home or trespass on the property, I will immediately contact law enforcement.” The following day, a notice of eviction was also sent to her, stating that she had 30 days to vacat the property.However, she did not evict the property and continues to stay there. Wonder’s attorneys are looking for “forfeiture” of the verbal agreement that occurred between the two formerly engaged parties. They are also looking for “reasonable attorney fees” and statutory damages that have resulted from her staying in the LA property for a prolonged time.Disclaimer: The information in this report is based on a legal hearing as reported by a third-party source.
