So it appears that my buyer on his own forged a deed from me to him and somehow got a notary to notarize it.

@John Stepahn, I get where you are coming from, but what difference does it make if you sign these forms or not? Are

I have a solid understanding of process in Australia, but it's not much help to me now 😂I have a "general warranty deed" which is notarized in Texas (where the property is) with my LLC on it as the "grantee".

Have it notarized by an attorney, so they can't claim they never signed.Good luck!

Notarized and recorded. 

My question is, since I am overseas, I will have to go through a lot of hassle to sign and notarize the closing documents, and it will take a couple of days to ship the documents.

I presume I would then execute a purchase contract with them which will give them collateral that I will buy the house and if I don't, they will pay me what I lent them plus a fee for lending them the money, as well as I, transfer the deed back to them.So to summarize:1) Seller deeds the property (via a notarized quitclaim deed or warranty deed?)

It is 10 pages long and is notarized by both parties.

Then be notarized and wire the funds, they don't table fund even in those states...Seller cannot be late in past 12 months or in default or in a modification or any other troubled asset review department like bankruptcy.FHA's are mostly assumable, VA is but VERY tricky as it isn't good for the veteran - they lose a percentage of eligibility.Servicers do not have loan officers to help you, they don't get paid on assumptions.

Alternatively, if you know the person well you can also form a basic LLC (S-Corp typically recommended) and create an operating agreement which can hold the same idea above in binding agreement (would want signed & notarized + work with attorney to draft document).I hope that's helpful!
