Elder signature of grant deed
An 84 year-old spanish speaking man signed over his house to his son. He states that he thought he was signing it over to his 6 children equally. He does not speak english and the beneficiary son was the one who took him to do this. Can this be voided, now that he found out it went to only one child on the basis that he did not understand what he was signing?

He would need to take immediate action to set aside the transfer. There are several possible possible approaches to this problem. Fraud, undeu influence and the fact that the agreement was not written in Spanish, are three possible approaches. With more facts it would be possible to fine one of these or another approach.
