"I owned my home. Paid it off in 2009. I poured my heart and soul into it and to have it taken away from me, it devastated me. When I first learned about my title being stolen from me, I spent lots of money going through court cases trying to stop the procedure. I mean, imagine having to spend tens of thousands of dollars to try to keep something you already own."
"From the day I signed on to Home Title Lock it was a couple of days later when I received a report about a lien against my property that I didn't know about. We got it fixed right away. There is no price you can put on that, the value of Home Title Lock is immeasurable."
"I thought I owned my home until the police showed up and told me I didn't. I could not actually believe that we were getting evicted from our home that we didn't even sell. Homeowners are just not aware of how vulnerable they are. These thieves, they take everything from you, they know how to use the system to get you out of your property. It is just too easy."

Your Title Information is PUBLIC RECORD
All a thief needs to steal your home is your street address and the name on your title, both of which are public record. A thief can simply go online or visit your County Recorder’s office, pay a few dollars, and legally obtain a copy of your deed.
It’s Easier Than Stealing a Car (& More Profitable)
Thieves can borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars against your property without leaving the comfort of their home. They simply utilize many county recorder’s online document retrieval and recording systems, and digitally record a forged deed transfer. Then, they takes out loans against your home, and disappear.
Seniors Are Often Longtime Homeowners
Thieves seek the money a home’s equity can provide via loans. Homes owned as little as five years have built considerable equity. The elderly may have owned their homes for decades, making their equity laden homes prime targets for thieves.
Seniors Often Own Their Home Free & Clear
As seniors tend to be longtime homeowners, many own their titles free & clear. Thieves seek homes owned free & clear due to their substantial equity. The more equity in a home, the more loans a thief can take out. Homes higher in equity are more desirable because a thief can take out tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans.
High Equity Means More Money
The more equity in a home, the more loans a thief can take out. Homes higher in equity are more desirable because a thief can take out tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans.
Homeowners Are Less Likely to Notice
Homeowners without a mortgage are less likely to notice small warning signs of deed theft. For instance, they may receive a past due notice in the mail and simply recycle it, not realizing that it’s from a legitimate bank who has financial interest in the property due to the fraudulent loans. Then, after ignoring the past due notice, that owner will potentially face foreclosure or even eviction.
Vacation Properties & Second Homes Make Great Targets
Vacation Properties and second homes often sit vacant for long periods of time. Thieves can sell the property or take out loans, knowing the rightful owners will not find out for weeks, months, or even a year.
Renters Have Immediate Access to the Property
Rental properties are at an increased risk as renters have direct access to the information needed to sell the home. These properties are often left unsupervised for extended periods of time, leaving a thief ample time to take out loans and disappear.
Care Takers Have Full Access to Information
An in-home or outpatient elderly care professional has easy access to the information needed to steal a home. They can simply file a forged deed transfer, adding them to the title and, when the elderly parent or family member passes, the title passes in full to them. And it’s difficult to prove otherwise.
Ideal Prey for Untrustworthy Family Members
Like a healthcare professional, an untrustworthy family member may also have access to all the information needed to steal a home. They simple file a forged deed transfer, adding themselves to the title of the property, wait for the elderly family member to pass away, and take full ownership of the home.
