    Challanging a warranty deed signed under false pretenses
    A girlfriend took possession of a house I purchased but was stupid enough to add her as a co-borrower or secondary borrower.
    We went to mediation agreeing she could have the home if she refinanced (within 90 days) it in her name, removing my responsibility, and she paid me monies for my interest or share. She finally told me she was about to close and needed my signature to refinance. When I arrived she had a warranty deed there with her name on it for me to sign. The title company stated it was only a courtesy deed to ease her refinancing and not needing me at signing.
    I now find out she has not refinanced, has filed the deed, and taken my name off the property, and stopped paying the mortgage.
    She will not leave the home, she will not re-deed it back to me.
    What can I do about the way she got the deed? I can't rescind it can I? Is my only option to get an attorney and go to court?
    Doesn't my mediation agreement demonstrate that I was attempting to follow the agreement, and she was manipulating the agreement, situation and me?

    Get an attorney and file a lawsuit against her and the title company. She committed fraud and the title company should have held that deed in escrow until the refinance was completed and you were paid.

    If my brother adds my name to his current savings account so I can purchase a foreclosure, showing proof of funds, what is his liability, if any? I cannot show my own current savings acct alone because I just opened it and my lender wants proof of funds currently available for past 4 months. So, although I am the account holder of the necessary funds the lender requires, my account has not been current long enough.
