need2know asked:
This was filed in California giving 50 percent of my property to my daughter and son-in-law, done without my consent, done without my knowledge, was not signed by me, recorded without being notarized, recorder’s office said “oops” but my responsibility to correct because it would cause a cloud on title. Son-in-law is trying to “buy me out” by giving me 1/2 of my equity. I want to sell, have ready buyer, how can I undo this fraudulent Quit Claim without their knowledge and sell with a clear title. There is a mortgage on the property, I have paid 100 percent of all costs, payments, utilities, insurance, etc.

You need an attorney. You also need to file crimminal charges against whomever forged your signature on the deed. If that’s your daughter and SIL, so be it. If confronted with crimminal charges, this person will probably break their necks to quitclaim their “rights” back to you. There’s no way to do this without the knowledge of the guilty party — nor should there be. They need to face the music!

After you get this fixed…..file suit against them in small claims. You can get back the attorney costs you paid to fix the mess they created.

If the quit claim deed was not notarized, then the county recorder’s office filed a wrongful deed. I can understand why it was not notarized, because in California you are required to be finger printed bby the notary.
In this case you need a good real estate attorney to assist you in getting this cloud off your property. He should be able to get this matter taken care of in a short period of time and file the necessary documents to do so.
The thing that seems important is time because you have a ready buyer.
I would also take court action against the ones that placed this lien against my property, even though it is your daughter and son-in-law.
I hope that you can find this of some use, good luck.

If there is a recorded quitclaim deed, I wouldn’t be undoing anything without their knowledge. People go to jail for fraud. See a lawyer.
