Q: Hello, What legal forms would I use to take my ex wife to court for forging my name onto my property Quitclam
She gave herself my property without me knowing anything about it
A: I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If you believe your ex-wife fraudulently transferred property by forging your name on a quitclaim deed, you should consider taking legal action. Typically, you'd initiate this by filing a civil lawsuit to set aside or invalidate the fraudulent deed. The specific form or complaint you'd use depends on your jurisdiction and its rules, but it's generally titled something akin to "Complaint to Set Aside Fraudulent Deed" or "Complaint for Quiet Title." You'll detail the facts of the alleged forgery in this document. Alongside this, you may consider reporting the forgery to local law enforcement since forging a signature on a deed can be a criminal offense. It's critical to consult with a local attorney who can guide you through the process, provide the appropriate forms, and represent your interests in court. Acting swiftly is essential to protect your property rights and ensure the best possible outcome.
