Back in the early/mid-70s, Viet Cong demanded she transfer title to them. She gave them a “fake” piece of paper that she was not an actual deed; still has possession of the original deed. There was no transfer of money/consideration for the property. PC is curious to know of there is any way to verify if she still owns the property, and if so, how can this property be addressed in her estate plan. Does anyone have any info/insight into this issue?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>Conor P.
