What is Home Title Monitoring?

As homeowners, we understand the importance of preserving the value of what is, for many of us, our most significant asset - our real estate. Home title fraud poses an increasing risk to our homeownership.

There are a few variations on deed fraud, but they generally work this way.

An identity thief chooses a house to steal - say, yours. They gather enough personal information about you to create fake identity documents like a driver's license, social security card, etc.

Then, they go to an office supply store and purchase forms, like a quitclaim deed, that transfers ownership of a property. After forging your signature and using the fake IDs, they have the forms notarized and file them with the county recorder and pay a small fee. Now your house is their house.

Your Identity Guard® Home Title Monitoring makes it easy to keep tabs on your property titles. We will immediately notify you if your name is removed from a title, a change is made to an existing title, or a new title is associated with your identity.
