This depends on what transpired. Law Enforcement are protected under "good faith error". However, a warrant is specifically suppose to contain a name, an address, and a physical description of the persons/place to be searched and a detailed and specific list of objects to be seized.
I.E. "This warrant is to search John A. Doe, a white male standing 5 foot 5 inches, weighing 180 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes that lives at 544 Muffin Lane."
Now If the Police executed a search warrant and John B. Doe, matches the physical description, this would be a good faith error. However, If John B Doe, was a white male, at 6 foot 11 inches, weighing 375 lbs with red hair and brown eyes. This may not be considered a good faith error but rather a violation of the 4th amendment.
If you feel your rights were violated and you were hurt or your property was damaged as a result of an incorrect or unlawful search it would be wise to contact a civil rights attorney.

Can you sue a person if you have a notarized paper but they have no money showing on the books and own no property?
In the US, anyone can sue anyone for anything. The question is not whether you can sue, but whether you can win. In order to win a lawsuit, you'll have to assert a legal cause of action. For example, you could sue for breach of contract, fraud, or for negligently inflicting injury. Based on your question, it is impossible to tell what wrong you believe this person has committed against you and why you believe it is actionable.
