‘We need to stop this’: Homeowner says person forged papers, stole her share of home
Tammy Legette is seeking legislative reform after a relative fraudulently altered a property deed to claim sole ownership of her late grandfather's home in Charlotte. The relative was cited for illegal notarization and pleaded guilty, but Legette faces ongoing challenges in clearing the title. She advocates for two bills to require government ID for deed recordings and streamline title disputes.
