That is not the correct question. If you signed the release in reliance on a deed that was forged,
you can generally reopen the matter.

If there was no fraud with respect to your entry into the release, it remains valid, however the deed might not be. These are 2 separate issues.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
