This cause comes to us on appeal from an order of the trial court denying appellant’s motion to vacate a default judgment entered against him on an action to quiet title to certain real estate. Examination of the record before us establishes that the *26default judgment entered against appellant should be vacated and the appellant allowed to plead. There is a meritorious defense (forgery), and circumstances relied on to show excusable neglect create a reasonable doubt which should be resolved in favor of allowing a trial on the merits. North Shore Hospital, Inc. v. Barber, 143 So.2d 849 (Fla. 1962). The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
