Q: Someone snuck their name on a deed without the home-buyer knowing, how can we get their name off the deed?
The home was paid for in cash up front. The person whom snuck their name on it handled all the paperwork as a "friend" of the family
A: A petition to quiet title, and to reform the deed. And if there is fraud involved, you may have other causes of action. I am very interested to hear the facts, as we have seen many cases like this over the 27 years I have been doing title and real estate litigation.
