What should I do to protect my house & title? |
I have a house paid in full. My former boyfriend is a real-estate agent & mortg. broker. He's not a ethical professional, and has played me very well. Many people are concerned about "Identity Theft" but I'm conserned about "Real Property" theft. What can I do to make sure my property is secure? I don't get statements on it like I do my brokerage accounts. So, how do I monitor it? This is a very risky situation, you should put your house in trust immediately, ask your attorney to do this for you. Good Luck! if you think he's unthical agent, please report him to the state department of real estate asap ... and you can check online on your county records for title records to see if you're the owner .. easy as that plus if you stop receiving property tax notices, then something is wrong http://www.theforeclosuresinfo.com... Home insurance is a must. K I own many homes of my own and protect them through Children's trusts initially drawn by an attorney. I've since copied those trusts and applied same to new homes purchased. When I get a home I buy through a title company to assure my single ownership. In your position, remember the title cannot be violated without your permission and if so, the forgery can be reversed without a doubt. You know where to send the police investigators when the title comes up changed or a like item, just be aware and if you're that skid-dish about him, check with the county once a month or weekly if he's on the prowl. P.I. You can have a title company research the chain of title on your property and see if there are any liens. You wouldn't necessarily be notified of liens but you find out about them when you try and sell the house and find out someone is trying to collect a debt and placed a lien on your house. It should be easy to see who/what is behind the lien and if it's your ex pulling a fast one I'd file a complaint with the real estate licensing board. There is a clause in the real estate licensing that pertains to "moral turpitude" and those with loose ethics are subject to expulsion if an investigation finds they are engaging in sleazy activities. |
