Joint ownership real estate ukseikop postedBought House 17 years ago in part ownership, both names on deeds. I then went abroad, have now found out my friend has forged my name and sold the house 14 years ago and since purchased another property in their own name. What is my position legally.
Sponsored Link-------------------------- JessieB repliedYour friend is guilty of fraud and you ought to report it. This is a crime. talk to your solicitor about it. The signature should not stand up to scrutiny if it is forged. libratracy repliedSee a solicitor asap and if you can prove your siganture was forged report the matter to the police aj at the bank repliedGo see a good lawyer. He'll hear the outline of your case for free...and advise whether he thinks you have a solid case he can pursue for you.
You should have no problems getting back a sizeable sum....but be prepared to wait for some time...the law moves slowly. An alternative is to contact the other party...advise you are pursuing legal action...but would be happy to settle this for £XXX. You will still ned a lawyer to draw up the legal documents that formalise such an agreement. But this might shorten the process considerably. |
