My jurisdiction is: Florida
In 1990 my closest friend and her daughter told me that as a senior citizen I should have a will. The daughters husband was an attorney and I met with him and explained I had no heirs that I wished to leave anything to. I told him his mother in law was the closest person to me in the world. I told him all I had was my house. So, he said I didn't need a will but a new deed. He suggested I name my closest friend, his mother in law as my heir. I agreed, so I added her name (the mother in law) to the deed to my home. In 2000 my friendship with the mother in law ended. I began dating a woman who I married in 2006. In 2008 we went to refinance the house an found that I can't without the mother in laws signature. I want her off the deed, but she refuses. I want her off the deed and want to ad my wifes name. I always thought I could change the deed at any time. I think I was defrauded by this attorney and his family. My friend said I have four years to file a suit claiming fraud and the four years started to run in 2008 when I realized the fraud. Is that right? Does anyone else know what I can do.
