Then, your friend can register a lien against the apartment building...

This may be your friend's answer.
If buddy made representations to your friend that buddy had no power to make, designed to induce your friend into a contract in which buddy would not be bound, then not only was there never actually a contract, but buddy has taken your friend's money under false pretenses and, assuming the other bits and pieces are as they appear to be, committed a criminal offence. The bizarre nature of his arrangments with his other family members adds to the likelihood he intended to defraud your friend.
Discussing this with CPS might be even cheaper than a crackhead.
