My name is Denise Kelley and i do not live at the same location as I was and I now live in Flagler County in Section * housing I also had another legal question about unauthorized notary signing of my ex fiance's name on our house trying to have his name forged and trying to take my house as well with out his signature and I didn't have an ID so I could not have signed as well and that can be proven he was not there I never met I notary I never seen a notary I never presented my driver's license ID card cuz I didn't have one but he somehow got it signed and the title is in someone else's name now for my house I made a report to the police about it though
Case Rating: *
Denise, it sounds like a potentially serious case of fraud and forgery regarding your property. Here are some general points to consider:
- Forgery is a criminal offense in Florida, and the involvement of a notary could be crucial evidence.
- Reporting to the police is a good step; ensure you keep all records and communications.
- You may need to file a lawsuit to reclaim ownership of your property.
