How do you get a stolen house back???
Hello BP, I am working with a seller who through follow up I reached out to and has informed met that someone has acquired her home and has moved into it without her knowledge. Her home has been vacant for some time now which is why I reached out to her in the first place to see if she was interested in selling it. Today she informed me that thru her neighbor she was told that someone is living in her house. She called the police and was informed that the person living in the home has a deed and gave a $7k down payment on the house and that she bought it from her. Clearly her signature was forged and that person even went and recorded the deed with the county. What steps does she need to take in order to get the property back? I'm sure there's going to be a lot involved. I am a wholesaler/investor and am reaching out to see what can be done to help her. Any advice is appreciated.
