Re: realestate
I am having trouble believing that this is a real question. However the short answer is YES it is absolutely illegal to sign someone else�s name to any document. That fact that you admit that your son was not aware that you were singing his name makes a prima facie case for forgery which is a crime in the State of Rhode Island
