Fleming v. Kagan

In Fleming v. Kagan (1961) 189 Cal.App.2d 791, the holder of the promissory notes and deed of trust committed fraud on the borrower by obtaining the borrower's signature on papers he said were requests for permits, when in fact they were a promissory note and deed of trust. (Id. at pp. 794-795.) In light of this fraud, the note and deed were void. (Id. at p. 796.)
