    This sounds very strange! How could the exwife have put his name on the deed without your friend signing a new deed or letter? My advice would be to have your friend make an appointment with a real estate attorney in the same area where his mother lives. Both he and his mother should go to the attorney's office with all the paperwork -- original deed and any changes to the deed. Usually attorneys don't charge for an initial consultation. I am sure the attorney will be able to help them correct the paperwork, especially if his signature was forged by the ex. Please have him do this as soon as possible to avoid major ownership problems if anything happens to his mother.

    I hope this helps.

    Also, just signing a deed doesn't make it fully legal. If it wasn't recorded its not official. But this smacks of fraud.

    You are quite welcome Lizardlady. As Scottgem suggests this smacks of fraud. The soon to be ex could find herself charged with a serious crime if she forged your friend's signature. If she did anything illegal, the lawyer will tell your friend that if he asks. If she is that underhanded as to take advantage of an elderly lady, your friend and his mother should seriously consider pressing charges against her. Just my opinion.

    Good luck to you and your friend! If you get a chance, let us know how it turns out!
