Can a property buyer be evicted if the seller's title is forged or defective? Know what the law says

A Supreme Court ruling protected a buyer from criminal charges in a forged Will case. The court stated criminal liability requires buyer knowledge of the forgery. A buyer with registered title and possession cannot be automatically evicted. Civil court decrees are necessary for eviction after a full trial. Buyers can pursue civil and criminal remedies against fraudulent sellers.
