The real Hollywood scandal? Fraudulent deeds. There has been a sharp increase in title fraud and seller impersonation across the country, and the legendary 120-room Spelling manor is no exception. Though Title Insurance companies work hard to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters, you can also protect yourself proactively by selecting or upgrading a title insurance policy to include fraud coverage, monitoring your credit report for any changes, and setting up a Google alert with your address to catch any suspicious activity. TLDR: Homeownership and the entire real estate sector depend on accurate property records. Title companies proactively find and correct millions of property records every month, and they have your back when scammers strike- regardless of your celebrity status.
