If you, the owner of the house, never signed the document and can prove it, then yes, the mortgage is void.

Details please! Any forgery is void. Proving it might require the services of an attorney.
OK, the name of the trustee isn't going to affect YOUR debt under the deed of trust! In many jurisdictions the trustee doesn't sign the deed anyway. They hold legal title and will transfer full title to you when the loan is repaid or to the lender if you default.
Changing the name of the trustee won't have any effect on your debt.
What matters is it YOUR signature on the TD? And that of any co-trustor (co-borrower)?

Are you saying that someone took out a loan against your house and forged your name? If that's what happened, then people are supposed to go to prison. Whoever closed on the loan (title company, escrow attorney) had to notarize the documents and get a copy of a picture ID of the person claiming to be you and signing as you. They will have a photocopy of the ID that was used, and signatures on file of the person forging your name.
If instead, what you mean is that YOU did sign, but someone forged a co-owner's name (like your wife's) and you knew it was not your wife.... well then, make the payments and keep yourself out of prison!

Any article that is a Forgery would be void if you could prove that it was a forgery.

You would have to provide significantly more details before anyone could answer this question.

a forged document is..........forged, it has as much legal significance as toilet paper. If it's not real, it's not real.
