Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
real estate contract question
I am in a process of buying a house. I received some hard evidence that the seller copied my signature and pasted on to an addendum. they sent the document out to my agent, and my agent e-mailed to me. now they are claiming that they sent out the wrong document.
the document is benefiting me, it says that the seller will fix the mold in the house. I don't know what action should i take.

This is a new one. Somebody forged your signature on a contract and it HELPS you? I've never heard of that.
Since you claim that they forged your signature, and you don't appreciate that act because you obviously now have misgivings, just tell your agent that the addendum was forged, and you won't hold its terms against the seller even though it benefits you. Have the seller send out the right document.
Unless you insist on sticking it to the seller and hold them to the addendum. Well, too bad, they did a bad thing (if what you say is true), and now they have to live with it.
