Forged deed

Isn't the deed notarized? Did she and her mother get some male to stand in front of a notary and show an ID of yours? I know people get away with this, but it would help to know how they did in this case.
There will be some drama unless you can get her mother to agree to write a new deed. I wouldn't recommend using a stand in for her mother.

Only one way: Get your wife and her mother to sign a deed to restore title to the way it was.

Anthing else would involve going to court and proving that one and probably both of them committed a crime. I believe that would count as big drama.

I should have included the info about the notary. Her aunt is a notary. So they all just kind of lied I suppose.

Contact the al.gov website and see about getting her license taken away.

I really didn't want to go that far if I could avoid it. But shouldn't the document still be void if I prove I didn't sign it? Any loopholes I should know? Even my wife wants to change it back into mine and her name. If the way they did it is solid, then I could just reforge it back into my name, and get her aunt to sign it.

So you mean that's the only way? Or the only easy way?

First, when posting a follow-up question or info, please use the Answer options at the bottom of the page rather than the Comments.

A notary falsifying a signature is grounds for pulling a license. So the mere threat of reporting it should get some action. If the deed is currently in your wife's names and her mother, then have them sign it back over to you and your wife.

Unless they agree to do so, you have to go to court to get redress.

If you want to do it, without charging wife and family with fraud there is no other way to do it, except just ask them to do it, so they don't get arrested.

If you take them to court, you will have to accuse them all of fraud. If your wife is willing to swear they did she may get out of it, by giving evidence against the others, if she wants to testify against her family

You can't 'just prove' anything without getting anyone in trouble, and if you don't do this all legally, there could be trouble for you too. If you go with your wife to the aunt with the threat 'notarize this without her mom because I've got you for last time' you have no idea who she is friends with in legal circles. She doesn't pay a fee to be a notary for the measly $2 per stamp or whatever the allowed charge is these days. Sure, she might cave and commit fraud again, but I don't think I'm being overly dramatic about the potential for this blowing up in your face.

The warning is to your ex's mother to not get her sister in trouble (assuming the aunt you mention is her sister) and you and your ex should go with HER - to a different notary.

By ex I mean wife
