| |  Quit claim deed
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Just found out my ex husband had someone forged my signature before a notary public on a quit claim deed, in order to have sole ownership of the house we own together, so he could sell it, which he did. This happened in 2002, i know is a long time but we had a lot of other issues going on, immigration problems, domestic violence, etc. my question is could he still be suited ?? or there is a statute of limitations on forgery in CA?? i appreciate your help. thanks. |

If you are interested in having him prosecuted, contact the local police department. They will determine if there is evidence to prosecute and whether the statute of limitations applies criminally. |

Does he look good in suits? | |
