I have recently found out that someone has forged my deceased grandfather name to deed land and sale it. Can I get that land deeded back and have that person prosecuted?

Yes the person who committed the property theft can be prosecuted for the forgery as a Criminal matter in criminal court and sued in a civil court for the financial damages, You should contact a attorney in the area to advise you in this matter to help you receive full restitution.
I hope this helps

Well, yes. Theft is illegal no matter how you look at it, whether it was a stick of gum or 500 acres of land, theft is theft. If you can undisputedly prove that his signature was forged, then yes, you can prosecute them and if the buyer won't cooperate and return the deed, then they can be prosecuted for felony possession of stolen property.
Good luck.

Yes, it is called larceny. Contact the prosecutor in the county where the land is registered.

Stealing land is good reason to hang a person.

A thief is a thief. Period, and the only reward is prosecution and imprisonment. That's it sweetie
