Property fraud, also known as deed fraud or “house-stealing,” is a fast-growing white-collar crime in the United States. This type of fraud can go undetected and can cause an array of issues, including the unlawful transfer of ownership of property. For example, property fraud can occur if someone forges your identity and transfers your property into their name and records a document in the Official Records. This fraudulent activity can make it appear as if that person owns your home or property, and you may have no idea that it happened! It sounds absurd, but unfortunately this type of fraud happens.

Your local County Recorder who records Official Records does not judge the accuracy or validity of a document. As long as a document is properly filed, and the proper fees are paid, a document can be entered into the Official Records, even if it is fraudulent.

The filing of fraudulent deeds has become such a problem that multiple counties throughout the State of Minnesota are now offering free services to alert a property owner of any change in the Official Records regarding their property. For example, KANABEC COUNTY is now offering a free land notification service that alerts subscribers when a document is recorded with a registered name on it. The alert system allows individuals to be informed of any official record activity taking place with that registered name. Unfortunately, the alert system does not stop the fraudulent activity, but it allows timely action against any improper activity.

Anyone can fall victim to crimes associated with property fraud, so what can you do to protect your property from property fraud?

+ Check the Official Records for any deeds, mortgages, or liens on your property and make sure they are accurate.

+If your property is unoccupied or you go out of town for a length of time, make sure your mail is not piling up and there are no obvious signs of neglect.

+Make sure the County Treasurer's office has the correct mailing address for you or the person who should receive notices about your property.

+Check to see if your county is offering a property fraud alert system! If you own property in Kanabec County, sign up today at

Under an owner's title insurance policy, homeowners are protected from certain undiscovered errors in title. A lender's policy, which is typically required, only protects the lender's financial interest in the property.
