Imagine waking up to find your name removed from your home's deed — or worse, discovering your property has been sold without your knowledge. Deed theft, also known as title fraud, is a growing threat, with criminals forging documents to transfer ownership or take out loans against a home they don't own.
According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, real estate fraud continues to cause significant losses. In one report, there were 9,359 complaints totaling $173.6 million, with older homeowners particularly affected.
