What home title fraud is
A criminal forges a deed or loan document to make it look like they own your property or have borrowed against it. Vacant land, second homes, and free-and-clear properties owned by seniors are the most common targets. Most owners find out only after the paperwork is already recorded — which is why a periodic check matters.
Who is the most likely target? Is it you?
42%
of title-theft victims are 65+
Seniors are the top target — far above their share of homeowners. They more often own free-and-clear and rarely monitor property records.
7th
in the U.S. for elder financial fraud
California is a hot spot — high-value, mortgage-free homes make the state a frequent target for impersonation schemes.
Warning signs
- You stop receiving property-tax bills or mortgage statements.
- You get an unexpected loan, foreclosure, or "welcome" notice from a lender you never used.
- Unfamiliar documents appear recorded against your property.
