Can a person buy a farm, live on it and have someone else run it?
Yes, a person can buy a farm, live on it, and hire someone else to manage it. This is common in situations where the owner lacks the necessary skills or time to run the farm themselves.
How is title fraud successful if the fraudster cant sell the transfered propery?
Title fraud can be successful even if the fraudster can't sell the property because they can use the property as collateral for loans or mortgages. They can then default on these loans, leaving the true owner with the debt.
But the loans do title searches just like the buyers.
That's correct. However, if the fraudster has successfully forged documents and filed them with the county recorder, the title search may not reveal the fraud. This is why title insurance is often recommended. Can I assist with any other legal questions?
You mean a title search seeking to insure the title may not catch the fraud?
Yes, that's correct. Even a thorough title search may not catch certain types of fraud, such as forged documents. This is why many buyers opt for title insurance, which can provide protection in such cases.
Don't they call all of the owners from 10 years back?
Typically, a title search will look at the property's history for the past *-60 years. However, they may not contact previous owners. Title insurance companies rely on public records to determine the property's ownership history.
Is there a way to protect your title from this?
Yes, there are several ways to protect your title from fraud:
- Regularly check property records.
- Use a reputable title insurance company.
- Be cautious of unsolicited offers related to your property.
- Protect your personal information.
- Consider a land trust for anonymity.
Regularly check property records? What good does that do after the transfer?
Regularly checking property records can help you spot any unauthorized changes or transfers. If you notice any suspicious activity, you can take immediate legal action to rectify the situation and potentially prevent further damage.
It too late by then.
I understand your concern. While it's true that catching title fraud after the fact can be challenging, preventative measures like title insurance can offer protection. Would you like more information on how title insurance works in your state?
Can i be prevented?
Yes, title fraud can be prevented. Here are some steps:

How does the fraudster get a loan on the transferred property with no employment records?
A fraudster may use false documents to show employment or income. This is illegal and considered mortgage fraud. It's important to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement and your lender.
Is there a type of loan that only requires the property a scollateral?
Yes, a hard money loan is a type of loan that primarily considers the value of the property as collateral, rather than the borrower's creditworthiness. However, these loans often have higher interest rates and shorter terms.
What are other names?
Hard money loans are also referred to as bridge loans, private money loans, or asset-based loans. These terms are often used interchangeably in the real estate investment industry.
