I was in jail for misdemeanor charges.I was co owner of a house with a relative.I bought out the interest in the house 3 years ago.it was never signed over to me.while incarcerated,the relative sent emails to my gfriend claiming that i "cheated" on her and she would have the house condemned,have more charges filed against me and said"i would pay".all of this info was told to me over the phone.they then went to a 'quick buy" homebuyer co.and brought in a deed that i was afraid not to sign becase of the threats.i had no contact with the homebuyers whatsoever,and was told i woud have to be at closing.instead,closing statement and power of attorney were forged in my name before my release.all proof that i bought out the interest was destroyed as they went to the house and found it.I was the sole occupant of the house for 5 years.i paid the taxes ect.the relative took half the money.the bank claims to have no documents when i remember signing them there.some legal expertise please!!!!!

Some other things to consider-I have the email threats printed out.i believe they constitute blackmail/extortion.I coud not contact the homebuyers.i didn't even know who they were and as far as they knew,I may have not even existed.My gfriend thought she was pregnant at the time.I won't name the co. but they are a large corporation,and i'm shocked they would even do this.what legal remedies do i have?Is the bank liable for anything?are the buyers,based on unconscionabilty?Can i report the buyout to the irs? As far as i know extortion is a crime whether by email or not.iam also a psychiatric patient and was heavily medicated while incarcerated.what kind of company does business with institutionalized people anyway? especially when they have had no contact with you?I did write a desperate letter to my attorney,nut when i got out,i foundhe was no longer in practice.A sum of money that large just can't myseriously dissapear".it has to be accounted for somehow.any help is appreciated.

john grisham. is this another novel...sounds like fiction. you say you have ownership in a house. ergo, you do not qualify for a public defender....if you can afford an attorney why did you end up doing time on a misdo meaner. my point is this. you cannot afford a top criminal defense attorney nor a real estate attorney. we can conclude that you didn't build any equity in the house so you are not out anything..

Firstly, proceed to the Bureau of Internal Revenue and get xerox copy of real property tax payament. You can charge your relative for the crime of forgery by preliminary investigation with those he contracted with, id est: Homebuyer and the bank who are expert in forgery. But before anything else, it is advisable to see a lawyer.
