Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, had a significant (35-45 properties in perhaps a two month period) deed fraud case. Unfortunately for him, the fraudster wasn't very smart and was caught already. How the original property owners regain actual ownership of their properties I don't believe has been resolved yet. I'm assuming a court order will be required and, again assuming, that will be a logistical drawn out process.
Apparently a guy, who claims to own 200 rental units, located unencumbered properties in a run down part of town and just drew up deeds to three separate LLCs he opened up. Again, brilliance was not his strong point, as the addresses for the LLCs he filed with the state were his properties. He purchased notary stamps off amazon, forged notary signatures, stamped and mailed the deeds to the court house for recording with money orders. Pittsburgh news channels have had several segments on this. --174.55.xxx.xxx |

Another way equity stripping protects your assets.
This probably will not happen to you. But for those select unlucky folks, they have bought five figure legal bills instead of $30 in recording fees --98.17.xx.xx |

The victim of this fraud will probably have to file a Quiet Title lawsuit against the fraudster to have that fake deed declared void and to confirm the true owner's ownership. This will not be cheap and will likely require bonds to be posted. --71.38.xx.xxx |

I signed up for deed change alerts via Landex. I was aware of this previously, but this post prompted me to take action. That will not prevent fraud, but will give an early warning signal should something jump off. --23.28.x.xxx |

We have a version of that here as well.
I was notified when I sold the last house. I had forgotten about it.
The alert, not the sale. --47.227.xx.xxx |

Title insurance is about 3 per cent value of property where is one time payment. That means no one can put a mortgage on property or change ownership. Where if own house or rental when selling fraud is avoided. --216.110.xxx.xxx |

I do not believe that title insurance protects the owner for anything that happens after the fact.
Once you own the property you need other protections to avoid the problem. At least around here. --47.227.xx.xxx |
