The fact is that Mother was told she was signing over part of her pasture and that it had nothing to do with the House but in reality it is her 6 acres with all improvements. Is there anything my Mother can do to have this revoked? Can she sell her property or take out a government reversal loan? Mother also looked at the deed that was filed and stated it is not what she signed. |
