"joint tenacy with survivorship (not as tennants in common)" warranty deed , no $ owed on property, person not sure exactly what they signed at this attorneys office, but knows it took them off the deed because as soon as it was signed , said person was handed a notice to vacate the property (already typed and ready by same attorney. which seems a little unethical!) given 60 days or face eviction proceedings.
You need to speak to an attorney about filing an ex parte application for injunctive relief to at least stop the eviction process and allow the judge to rule upon voiding a signature due to fraud and your intoxication. Fraud is the better issue to argue, not intoxication because I trust it was voluntary.
Get a consult with a local real estate attorney. The deed that was signed will be a matter of public record and they can review that and the circumstances, then advise you accordingly.

You begin trying to undo this mess by hiring a lawyer and providing them copies of everything you have pertaining to this transaction. Being intoxicated and misled isn't "duress" though. Duress is fear; it's threats and extortion. Voluntary intoxication usually isn't a defense. Being "misled" into something often turns on who did the misleading.
