Re: property fraud

you should contact a real estate attorney as soon as possible. there is an issue of consideration and intent to make a gift. You can file a petition for partition to force the sale of the home or you can file a petition to remove her name from the title and ask for her eviction from the home. This all depends on the facts as you have presented them and it is not absolutely certain you will win, but you appear to have a very good case.

Good Luck

Re: property fraud

In addition to what the other fellows said, you may also be able to sue her for "rents" due to you if she's occupying the entire home. Restraining orders do not affect title to property, however, so in the least you'll retain the ownership of your half.

Re: property fraud and quick relief

The facts you raise indeed are a problem. There are, as the other said, a number of ptions. All of these are going to force you into court.

The first thing you must do is to halt the sale of the house. This will require you to file an action and get a court order. If you delay, the problems can get worse.

This problem you raised are legally complicated and do require the assistance of an attorney.

If you have any questions, or need assistance, then contact me.
