More details to this question:
Someone placed a fraudulent deed on my mother's property. We found out when we were paying the RE taxes. We still have access to the property as we run a small family business out of it. It's a garage. We found that this person forged my mom's name on some documents and had them notarized. The fraudulent deed also says that $20k exchanged hands. My mom is over 90 and lives in NC. She has not been to Philly in years. Besides the fact that the property is in the name of a trust which names me and my siblings as trustees.

I've seen this kind of fraudulent filing recently. They might've pledged the property as collateral to get a loan. In any event, you are right to want to take action right away. However, filing a lawsuit for this matter is complex and I would not recommend trying to do it on your own. The process of serving the suit on the offender will probably be complicated. You should retain qualified counsel to handle this matter for you.
