Re: forgery

Chances are bad guy will destroy the deed before he turns it over. It is hard enough for states to bring back murderers and is highly unlikely that the he will come back to San Antonio. With that said, it sounds like your lawyer isn't very familiar with real estate law. All the lawyer needs to do is open up a declaratory judgment action to have you declared the "true owner" of the property by court order. Bad guy will be served and will probably not appear and you will win by default. Best of luck.
