Home title fraud is a growing concern. Criminals can forge documents to transfer property ownership without the homeowner’s knowledge. Home title monitoring helps detect these changes early, giving you time to act.
How monitoring works
Home title monitoring tracks public records associated with your property. When a change is detected — like a new lien, deed transfer, or mortgage filing — you receive an alert so you can verify whether the activity is legitimate.
What triggers an alert
Alerts are triggered by recorded changes to your property’s title. This includes new ownership filings, refinancing activity, or liens placed against your property. Not all changes are fraudulent, but all are worth reviewing.
What to do when you get an alert
Review the details of the change. If you didn’t authorize it, contact your county recorder’s office immediately and consider consulting a legal professional. Your IdentityMaxx recovery advocate can also help guide next steps.
Key Takeaway
Your home is likely your biggest asset. Title monitoring provides peace of mind by ensuring you’re the first to know when something changes.
