I'm sorry for your loss. Did your friend leave the motorcycles to you in his will? Do you estimate the value of the motorcycles as worth more or less than $150,000? Could this other friend have been named as your deceased friend's executor or estate administrator if your deceased friend died without a will? If you would like to re-post with more information or email me at [email protected], I'll try to provide an answer for you.

You should at least speak to an attorney. One of the questions that I would have would be when were the certificates of title signed over? You may have an easier case of proving forgery if they were signed after death rather than before death. Any case to recover the motorcycles is going to get pretty expensive, because it would have to be brought by an estate representative.
