Q: My Uncle was pressured into signing a quitdeed to a "friend" while my Uncle was heavily medicated and in a nursing rehab
He now has his strength back and claims he does not remember the attorney coming to the nursing facility but remembers constantly being pressured to sign his property over prior to rehab. My uncle is 83 years old and never wanted to sign his property over to anyone. What can he do to reclaim his deed that was signed under duress.

A: How much Property is involved? Failure of Consideration and Fraud may be factors as apparently he has not been adjudicated incompetent. Was the attorney the draftsman and notary?
