What do you do if you think your deed was stolen?
Report the suspected fraudulent filing to the county Clerk of Superior Court right away and contact a real estate attorney, since clearing a forged deed from the record typically requires a court action to quiet title and formally restore ownership. If you have an owner's title insurance policy, contact that insurer immediately too, since it can help cover the legal cost of fixing the title depending on the policy. Local law enforcement should also be notified as part of the fraud report.
Still have a question?
Ask Joel directly. No form, no obligation, and a real answer even when the answer is that now is not the time to sell.
