Title Fraud: Don’t Let It Catch You Off Guard

Published on 29 August 2022, 07:22:56 AM

Investing in a home is a significant milestone in your life. At Axess Law, we believe in safeguarding that investment, and one crucial tool for doing so is title insurance. Title fraud occurs when scammers use counterfeit documents or stolen identities to unlawfully seize ownership of your property’s title. This allows them to either remortgage your home and make off with the funds, or even sell your property without your consent.

Being targeted by title fraud could severely restrict your financial options—making it difficult to secure a mortgage, tap into your home’s equity, or sell your property. Although title insurance won’t prevent you from falling victim to fraud, it shields you from many of its repercussions. This includes covering the legal fees involved in reclaiming and securing your title.

With a one-time, affordable premium, title insurance provides you with protection for as long as you own your home. Whether you’re a new homeowner or have lived in your home for several years, there’s a title insurance policy that’s tailored for you.

We are here to invest in your security and peace of mind.
