CAN they...?
Anything is possible.
The facts, admissible evidence, defenses, motions, and evidence rulings will determine the outcome at trial. No one can speculate with no knowledge of any of that.
theoretically sure why not? In a particular case, consult with a local attorney about the details. Good luck!
If not forgery they can be guilty, depending upon the facts, of attempted forgery.
Forgery is when someone signs someone else's name without their permission or consent. If someone signed their own name, but claimed that they owned property that they did not own, that is fraud, for which you have both civil and criminal remedies.
