Can Someone Steal Title to Your Home?
Who would do such a thing???That sure is a good question and a partial answer is: an identity thief.
What exactly is title theft and when does it occur???I’m glad you asked, it is when a criminal fraudulently transfers your property deed into their own name or some fictitious name.??
It is also known as mortgage deed theft.???While it is rare, it can happen and is typically connected with identity theft.
So what can you do???Well, funny you should ask, I’ll share more about that in a moment.??But for now, just know that locking or freezing your credit can add a layer of protection.
Another thing you can do is retain the services of a company (like the one I happen to be an agent for), that provides identity monitoring service.??It’s actually part of a consumer protection plan that I offer and would be happy to talk in more detail about it.?
While Title Theft is rare, identity theft isn’t.??Whether the Title Theft occurs or not, probably depends quite considerably on who it is that steals your identity.??
So just know that an identity monitoring service like ours can help you protect yourself and your assets — including the deed to your home - but also much more.??And it isn’t expensive either.
