Forged deeds are distinguished in what way?

Forged deeds are considered invalid because they lack the genuine consent of the parties involved. When a deed is forged, it means that one party has faked the signature or misrepresented their identity to create the document. Legally, such deeds cannot confer any rights or transfer ownership, as they are based on fraud. As a result, any parties affected by a forged deed can take action to have the deed set aside and declared void in a court of law. This legal response ensures that no wrongful transfers of property occur, and it helps protect the interests of the rightful owner.

The other options do not accurately represent the nature of forged deeds: they are not valid nor enforceable, and while dealing with issues related to forgery can entail financial costs, the fundamental issue at hand is the void status of the deed itself.
