Dear Bee: You have two entirely separate situations to deal with. One is the physical abuse and the other is the validity of the deed. Since you have removed your grandmother from the home, I will answer only on the question of the deed. You can't evict Auntie from the home as long as she holds title by virtue of the deed. Your grandmonther's lawyer should immediately file a civil suit to set aside and void the deed on the grounds that it was obtained by fraud, which would be the false statements by those doctors. Auntie might have also violated of the terms of the POA by deeding the property to herself, but I can't say for sure without reading it. Your attorney should also record a LIs Pendens notice which will prevent Auntie from selling or mortgaging the home, while the lawsuit is pending, if she hasn't done so already. You might consider having her file formal complaints against the doctors who signed statements without examining her with the CA Medical Board Licensing Board.
