A: Thank you for your question!

It seems that some relatives added their names to your title. You need quiet title action based on fraud to remove them from your property and stop them from doing so again in the future. Your title is unmarketable now, and you will have a problem selling the property. You need a real estate attorney to clean your title.

This is merely a discussion of general laws and not legal advice. For legal advice, more specific facts and investigations are needed. I recommend you consult with an attorney for more details.

Key points:

1. You believe fraudulent title deeds have been recorded with the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office.

2. There are conflicting probate filings for different estates.

3. Some relatives have been appointed as administrators by the court.

4. Other relatives may have filed fraudulent documents to manipulate property titles.

General advice:

1. Document everything: Gather all relevant documents, including deed numbers, court filings, and correspondence.

2. Seek legal counsel: This situation is too complex for general advice. You need a lawyer specializing in probate and real estate law in California.
