Judgment debtor forged transfer of title to a dead person
Without going into the fraud and embezzlement by the judgment debtor, I will just go into the specifics of this unique collections situation.
10 years ago, this husband and wife were investigated by the state attorney generals of AZ and NV for fraud. In prep for a potential collection against them, they moved assets around to try to protect them from seizure.
On May 21, 2008, this couple had the deed of their home in Henderson, NV switched from one of their investigated shell companies (which is now closed) to a guy name Dominic. They still live in this house and call it their primary residence; however, since it appears as if they don't own the title, it can't be levied as a result of a judgment or collection.
Here is where more of their fraud kicks in. Dominic died on May 17, 2007 ... a year before the transfer of title shows he signed to take ownership of the title!
I contacted LAPD (where I live) and the Henderson, NV PD and they were no help. One completely disinterested detective said "would be considered a forgery however only the victim (whois deceased) can testify that it is not his signature".
Any suggestions on how to pursue this?

I am sure there are more details but based on what you posted.
1. check to see when the deed was signed and dated.. a deed does not need to be recorded to be valid.
could they have signed it when Dominic was alive and recorded it after death.. also who is the notary. needs a notary to record..
2. if by chance this had title insurance.. Forgery is a covered item.. although you would not have standing.
We work on these types of deals.. you have to FORCE probate.. expensive and complicated.. working one right now.
I would Buy Rick the Probate guys course.. he no longer participates on BP but he is an expert in these deals you learn how to work these and they can be a gold mine.
But you have to be willing to risk some serious legal fees up front the one I am working on currently I will probably be in it 30k with no guarantee of success but if I do succeed.. well you can figure out the upside.
