Somebody had to change the documents. Call the Title company and have them e-mail you the final documents. Do not let anyone else (including your husband) see them until you have examined them. If they match the ones that have been recorded, inform the Escrow Officer who handled the closing that the documents that have been recorded are fraudulent and need to be corrected immediately to delete your name from them. Does your husband have a power of attorney to sign financial documents on your behalf? If he does, and he signed them, then its legal even though you personally never signed them. That is a different problem.
Start slowly. First verify with the Escrow Officer (or attorney if that is how you close) by getting an electronic copy of the final documents. Almost all companies scan these now as some states allow electronic filing so no paper needs to change hands plus its easier to get people copies that way if they ask for them. Point out that your copy does not have your name on them and is materially different from the recorded copy which does have your name but a signature in your space that is not yours. That should get them started.
