Squatter's Grip on Mansion: A Serial Freeloader's Tale
4 Mar
Summary
- Maid Hilarie Page allegedly refuses to leave her deceased boss's mansion.
- She previously lived with another man for over two years, refusing to leave.
- The estate representatives claim Page changed locks and blocked entry.

Hilarie Page, 66, is reportedly refusing to vacate the $13.2 million Upper East Side townhouse of her late employer, mattress mogul Craig Schmeizer. The entity owning the property has filed a lawsuit against Page, alleging she has prevented estate representatives from entering the five-bedroom residence. This situation echoes a past incident where Page allegedly overstayed her welcome in a Manhattan loft for over two years, only departing after legal action.
Schmeizer, who died in late 2024 from blunt force trauma, had hired Page as a live-in housekeeper. Weeks before his death, Page was arrested on assault charges related to an incident involving Schmeizer, though the NYPD has stated no criminality was found regarding his death, which was ruled undetermined. Family members have differing views on Page, with some demanding further investigation while others remember her as a caring individual.
