Lawsuits to invalidate fraudulent deeds most commonly arise in three scenarios: (1) Where a deed is forged; (2) Where a grantor is fraudulently induced to sign a deed, for example, where the grantor lacks the mental capacity to do so but is unduly influenced by another to do so; and (3) Where a grantor is tricked into signing a deed not knowing that it is a deed – this is commonly referred to as fraud in the execution. The attorneys at Valero Law have litigated an array of fraudulent deed issues at the trial and appellate court levels.
