Re: My name has been forged

You need to have the title examined by an attorney to determine exactly the state of the title. You do not say who the quit claim deed is from, nor do you say if your mother and father owned it in survivorship. Assuming that there is a forgery, there is only one way to set aside the quit claim deed and that is by litigation with handwriting experts etc.. There are no quick answers here.
