Contact the title company who insured title for the lender. Notify them and the lender of the forgery. That is why people buy title insurance.

It's not really up to you if your husband goes to jail. That's a determination for the district attorney to make. As for what to do, you need to contact the financial instituion and complete a fraud affidavit. Given our current climate, it's possible that they would forward this to the DA's office for consideration. You have a bigger mess on your hands than you realise.
