Texas couple find strangers building on their land after alleged identity fraud; court dismisses notary claims

Wait 5 sec.

A couple in Texas discovered their property had been allegedly sold by an impersonator. After construction began on the land, they informed the parties involved of the dispute. The notary claimed he was not responsible as the notarization occurred in Colorado. The Texas Fourth Court of Appeals ruled there was no personal jurisdiction over the notary. This case highlights issues of jurisdiction in property transactions when services cross state lines.
