Cornelia, GA asked in Family Law and Probate for Georgia

Q: What can be done about a family member that manipulated the proposed ward of a petition into signing over a home title?

My mother has not been mentally in tact since her parents passed in 2017. She became executor or their estate in which the title to their home was put in her name. My aunt and I announced that we were going to file the petition for guardianship and conservator as my mother as the proposed ward to the rest of our family members with my mother expressing that she needs that petition filed. While having the petition in hand another family member intentionally went to my mother while she was alone and manipulated her into signing over the title to my grandparents home to them. This family member also knew when my mother takes her prescription sleep aid known as ambien in which my mother was under the influence of at the time of this incident. My mother claims she wasn't even aware of signing any document with that family member and now said family member has filed to evict my sister and other family members living in that home. What can be done if anything since that family member fraudule
