Don’t Let Property Fraud Go Undetected

Property fraud occurs when someone illegally files documents in your name to transfer ownership of your property without your knowledge. These crimes can lead to devastating losses—and many victims only discover the fraud after it's too late.

• Thieves may forge your signature to steal or mortgage your home.
• Unmonitored documents can go unnoticed for months or years.
