As a senior homeowner, your home isn’t just where you live—it’s one of your most valuable assets and a key part of your financial security. You’ve likely heard about Deed and Title Fraud and may have been told that monitoring services can fully protect you from this growing crime. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
Many companies promote so-called “triple-locking security”, but in reality, they only monitor, notify, and assist after the damage is done—leaving you vulnerable until after the crime occurs. True protection goes beyond just alerts—it’s about preventing fraud before it happens.
How Common Is Home Title Theft?
According to the Federal Trade Commission, the second highest reported loss amount for 2023 totaled $2.7 billion of the $10 billion reported.
The American Land Title Association reported that 28% of all title companies claimed to have had at least one attempt at Seller Impersonation Fraud in 2023, with many of these resulting in claims.
The home title theft of Graceland garnered attention for this growing threat. While the FBI categorizes home title theft under a general heading with other homeowner issues, there is a rising problem with title fraud. It usually affects homeowners who don’t live on the property, but thieves target properties with plenty of available equity.
Who Can Be Affected by Home Title Theft?
You might be wondering, “Can this crime affect me?” It can and it has affected a variety of homeowners. There are many types of homeowners, but some are more attractive to title thieves than others. These include:
Longtime Homeowners
Longtime homeowners almost always have a lot of equity built into their homes. This additional equity can make your home attractive to thieves who steal deeds. It offers them the chance to make more money with the same amount of work.
Multi-Homeowners
When you own multiple homes, you have additional equity. You also might not pay as close attention to your title information as someone who only owns a single property. A thief might go after more than one of your properties using the same paperwork, saving time while making more money.
Real Estate Investors
Real estate investors don’t always live in the homes they own. This can make it easier for a thief to step in and change the title information. You might miss the signs that there’s an issue with the title because you aren’t living there.
New Homeowners
While there might not be as much equity with a new homeowner, there is often a lack of knowledge that can make their property an easy mark for title theft. New homeowners don’t yet have the experience to recognize abnormal procedures, and they may fall for fraud more easily.
