Property Fraud Prevention

Published: October 30, 2024

Property fraud involves the filing of fraudulent warranty deeds with the county clerk to change the ownership of the property away from you, without your knowledge or consent, and to another person or entity. That fraudster can then take out a mortgage or other type of loan against the property, also without your consent or knowledge, potentially leaving you liable.

Property fraud is not always preventable, but there is a method to be alerted when it happens by subscribing to the Property Fraud Alert system for Tarrant County. Follow the steps listed at the below website and sign up for changes to your property ownership, no matter whether your home is in your name, a business name, or in the name of a trust.
