Property title fraud is where a criminal steals a property owner’s identity. The criminal can then apply for loans using the true owner’s property as collateral or they could attempt to sell or mortgage the property by pretending to be them.
If the fraud isn't discovered promptly, the true property owner might find their property has been transferred or sold without their knowledge. Property that is empty, rented out or mortgage-free is more at risk.
