If you’ve received an alert through Secure Title Watch and suspect a fraudulent title change, it’s important to
notify your County Recorder’s Office or Clerk of Court as soon as possible. Many counties have specialized
fraud prevention divisions that can take preliminary action to block further fraudulent filings or assist with
reversing an unauthorized document.
If you’ve discovered that a fraudulent deed has been recorded against your property, time
is of the essence. Whether the deed was forged, filed without your consent, or
fraudulently transferred to another party, you have legal remedies—but the process
requires precision, documentation, and persistence.
Receiving a property alert from Secure Title Watch means our monitoring system has detected a
document—such as a deed, lien, or mortgage—recorded against one of the properties you’re
monitoring. While these alerts are designed to notify you quickly of potential threats, it’s
important to know that not all alerts indicate fraud. Some may reflect legitimate activity, such
as a recent refinance, title transfer, or other routine transaction.
This guide is here to help you take the right steps—calmly and effectively—so you can
determine whether the alert is expected or if further action is needed.
Real estate fraud doesn’t always start with a bang—it often begins with subtle changes you might
overlook. Title fraud, deed theft, and unauthorized filings can go undetected for months if you
don’t know what signs to look for. That’s why being alert to the red flags of property fraud is
critical for every homeowner.
This guide outlines the most common warning signs so you can act fast, protect your rights, and
stop fraud in its tracks.
In cases where title fraud may involve identity theft, forged signatures, or coordinated criminal activity across
state or county lines, reporting the issue to federal agencies can strengthen your legal protections and open the
door to broader investigations. Filing with the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also establishes
official records that you can use with credit bureaus, insurance providers, or legal representatives.
This template is provided by Secure Title Watch to assist property owners in filing a police report related to
suspected title fraud. Please complete this form with your property and contact information, and bring it with
you when filing a report with your local police department.
Secure Title Watch provides real-time alerts for a wide range of official documents that, if
recorded without your knowledge, could indicate fraud, error, or financial risk. These include:
