I just found out that my sister took the title of my vehicle and signed my name to put the car into her name. This probably happened about a year ago without my consent. I let her drive the car for a while, but now she has the title to her name. Isn't this a felony, to forge someone else's signature and put the car under her name? Also while I was out of town, she even sent a written notice in my name giving her permission to enter my house. Being a clear infraction of the law, what can I do, and what are the penalties she must endure if I press charges? Is this jail time or a slap on the wrist? Any advice would be appreciated.

This IS a felony in most states. I would offer her a choice. She can sign the car back over to you and pay ALL taxes and fees required to correct the title and registration. The other option is you sue her into oblivion and make it you hobby to get the DA to put her behind bars for fraud. In either case, put a fraud alert on your credit report and EVERY financial account you have. Change you locks and never let her step foot on your property.

You better stop her before she really hurts you financially. It may cost you some money to reverse even now. But I find it hard to believe she would do all this to a sibling and just sign it back without a fuss. I think you may need a lawyer.
How much do you like your car and your house?
