What is the name of your state?SUBJECT: Manipulation of their names on a Deed
What is the name of your state? Ohio

Does someone still legally own their property if they place a false manipulations of their name on the deed when they purchased it, or can the deed be nulled and void? For instance, let's say as an example that there are two people who are sisters. One's name is Betty Jones, and the other's name is Martha L. Casey. Then they purchase 10 acres of property (no home on it) exchanging their last names on the deed to read as: Betty Jones Casey, and L. Martha Jones. So isn't it sort of fraudent representation of themselves? Then about 4 years later (after they've built a farm and animal breeding business there), they transfer the deed ownership to their right names PLUS an extra relative named so it reads like this: Betty Jones & Martha L. Casey & Susan Patterson. What's going on here, and is it legal? Inotherwords, have they done anything wrong to be considered fraudulent and their original purchase of the property null and void?

**A: confusing post. We do not respond to examples or what if's. Do you have a real situation?

Manipulation of Names on Deed

State: Ohio
Subj: Manipulation of Names on Property Deed

Yes, this is a REAL situation. Two women I know who are sisters, purchased a 10 acre parcel of property for $10,000 (no buildings on it--just farmland), and exchanged last names on the Deed. Is that legal? Later, they built a horse-breeding facility and a home on the property. HOWEVER, now the deed shows they transfered (or sold?) the deed back to themselves using their REAL last names plus adding one of their daughters name to it. I know their daughter filed bankruptcy 7 in 1995, and concealed the 17 horses she owned at a friends' barn. I don't know if horses are considered assets to be liquidated, but I think the Statues of Limitations have run out as to any kind of Bankruptcy fraud. However, doesn't the deed that was originally sold to the two sister under exchanged last names indicate some type of fraudulence going on here? Or am I just making a big deal out of nothing? These are very sneaky people and most people try to stay as far away from them as they can, because they're either trying to sue somebody or manipulate situations to their benefit, and don't care whom they victimize in the process. That aside, I sure would like to know if the original deed is illegal or null and void, as well as the transfer, because of the way they went about doing it. Sweetdreamr

Thankyou, sweetdreamr

**A: you case is much to complicated to respond to in an internet forum such as this one. Such cases are interesting to me and I would take similar cases if I was in Ohio, which I am not.
