A Forged Deed Is Void Ab Initio and Conveys Nothing to a Bona Fide Purchaser or Encumbrancer

The Second Department explained the effect of a forged deed on all subsequent transactions in which the forged deed is involved:

“A deed based on forgery or obtained by false pretenses is void ab initio, and a mortgage based on such a deed is likewise invalid” … . “If a document purportedly conveying a property interest is void, it conveys nothing, and a subsequent bona fide purchaser or bona fide encumbrancer for value receives nothing” … . Jiles v Archer, 2014 NY Slip Op 02262, 2nd Dept 4-2-14
