The land had a house built on it as well. After she passed my father asked me to sign a document. At the time i didn't know what the document was. He was always sticking things under my nose and telling me to sign and i trusted him. Just recently i found such document and realized that I signed a quit claim deed for the property in TX. I also realized that the document was notarized. I know when I signed the quit deed it was not notarized, so it was done after my signing. I now realize that i may have signed away the ownership to the property. I did not realize at the time the property apparently was in my name. I feel that i signed this quit deed under false pretense and the notarization was done illegally. Do I have any recourse on this matter?

Yes, you are correct in saying that you signed the quitclaim deed under a false pretext. You can now go for a reverse quitclaim. But this is only possible if your father is ready to do that in your favor. If he is not ready to do that, you will have to challenge him in the court and prove that you were made to sign the deed under a false pretext. Feel free to ask if you have further queries. Sussane

You can definitely challenge your father in the court stating that he had made you sign the deed under false pretext. You can consult your legal adviser as to how you should proceed about the case. Thanks, Jerry

Upon me signing the deed she immediately signed the land over to a coal company. Later I found out she worked for the company. This has been around 6 years ago. Can I do anything about this. I do have a witness my daughter.

I don't think you will be able to do anything. As a seller, you have sold off the property to someone else. After you sold off, it will depend upon the buyer as to what he or she will do with the property. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane
