Re: fordged name

To file asuit while your husband is alive, requires damges. If you intended to get a loan, and got that loan, then you were not damaged. Your husband may have a claim against the realtor, because his supposed signature appears on a document that may cost him money, and credit problems. The state may have a criminal claim against the realtor, for fraud and forgery. The lender may have a claim against the realtor for fraud. If you are very upset abaout this, then I suggest that you contact the real estate licensing board and lodge a complaint.

Good Luck
