A:
If someone has forged your signature on documents and taken property that belongs to you in Louisiana, you should contact your local law enforcement agency. This could include the police department, sheriff's office, or other relevant law enforcement agency.
You should report the forgery and theft to the law enforcement agency and provide them with any evidence you have, such as copies of the forged documents or proof of ownership of the property. They may conduct an investigation and take appropriate legal action against the person or people involved.
Additionally, you may want to consult with a local attorney who specializes in real estate law and/or contract law to understand your legal rights and options for recovering your property and seeking compensation for any damages or losses you have suffered.
