Legal help?

I have an old friend, he has no family, so I am taking care of him. Recently he gave me his house. He added me to the Deed of his home. We went to an attorney to make this legal process. That was 8 months ago. Now, the public court wants to remove me from his deed.

Can a judge order this? Can a judge at a court force me to remove my name from the deed?

Update:

I live in Texas

    Yes, it is within the power of the court to do this. Situations where this may be done are where your friend is judged incompetent and not able to legally agree to add you to the deed. Or they may feel you exerted undue influence on him. Or, they may feel that your motives are fraudulent.

    In any case, you will be able to provide evidence that none of this is true and that it was all on the up and up. They will not rule on this without giving you the opportunity to testify, if you choose to do so.

    But in the end, if they feel the transfer was improper in some way they can and will nullify it.
