Grandparent unknowingly signed over house to daughter
California Jul 27, 2026
Location: California Grandma (88) signed over the deed to her daughter and doesn’t remember it happening. Her daughter had a notary come to grandmas house and sign over deed while all other family members were gone on vacation. Grandma is of sound mind but has a history of strokes and needs things throughly explained to her. I don’t believe grandma truly knew / understood what she was signing. I asked her how / why the house is now in my aunts name and grandma said she doesn’t know. 2 weeks before the deed was signed over aunt had 3 major brain surgeries and wasn’t in a good state of mind. My aunt is friends with a notary and that is who I believe notarized the transfer knowing grandma didn’t fully understand what was going on. This was kept a secret from my dad and uncle so that’s another reason why I believe they lied to my grandma about what she was signing. I don’t believe anything should have been notarized knowing my aunts state of mind right after major surgery. I now have multiple family members questioning the deed transfer. Is there anything we can do at this point? Grandma insists she doesn’t know how anything was changed.
