Woman charged with filing fraudulent deed on Raleigh dentist's multi-million home

[@CharlesCurran-m9p]

Something is wrong with a system where a criminal can file a fraudulent deed with ease but the rightful owner has to go through a lengthy process to reverse it.

[@raymondsmith3248]

Very wrong here in South Africa you pay, transfer once it's 100% paid, the money or bond is held in trust and you only get your deeds once the deeds office has been sent proof , no chance of fraud there's 2 lawyers and.

The register of deeds is an essential part of local government as it also enables them to collect land and property taxes. We are talking millions of dollars or more in value for private residential homes, agricultural land and businesses. For there not to be systems in place to ensure that someone could do what this woman did is just ridiculous. The idea that the homeowner now has to spend thousands of dollars just to get the deed back in his name is just bonkers. At no point they didn't set up some sort of facility that would just simply cancel this deed as fraudulent and return to the previous deed on file which would still be on record?!?

This has been happening all over the country, especially the south. Several people have lost their home because of deed theft. Some elderly GA (In Atlanta it's rampant) people living in their homes for 30 years plus have had their home outright sold from under because of this. We now have two step verification process for our emails, bank accounts, even to pay our light bill, but not for the outdated county clerk register of deeds office. In Georgia that can't even ask for ID. Here in NC you can sign up to be notified if your deed changes but that's only after the fact and by then it's too late. It's ridiculous and they are too lazy to change and criminals are taking advantage of this system in which the state and the courts are too oblivious to change it. Its been in news nationwide for a few years. States not reviewing outdated vulnerable policies.

Fraud alerts do essentially nothing until after the damage is done. I keep hearing the fraud alert solution but this would not have changed the position that the dentist/Raleigh NC homeowner is in, that is, owing thousands and thousands in attorney fees and all of this stress in his life now. The owner essentially received his "fraud alert" through his HOA, but he still has to go through this awful mess "on his time and on his dime". And counties and government love to propose this "fraud alert" but it really has no teeth and is just lip service IMO. The owner may get a judgement for $$$ - but he will likely never collect anything from the fraudster, and he is stuck with the thousands in attorney fees and all of this emotional trauma, as she probably has no money and all she has is her national/international mug shot to her name. No net worth, a.k.a. "judgment proof" And she's looking at likely future incarceration so certainly she's not earning money in jail. Notary barcode is a somewhat okay idea -- but many people can get notary commission as it doesn't take much to get commissioned/very easy to get for most, so there are those who will get commissioned as notary and may not be honorable and can use their stamps to commit fraud. Our homestead is supposed to be Constitutionally protected -- and by allowing this nonsense, essentially the government/counties are complicit in allowing these fraudsters to seize properties simply by standing in a line at recorder's office, then filing a bogus quit claim deed, and paying the recording fees. All in the span of an hour or two at most to do this. (FYI - Quit claim deeds are so easy for fraudsters to forge and these need to be especially scrutinized at recorder office but of course they are not !!) We as the legitimate property owner should be able to file a "Notice of Intent" in the county recorder's office publicly stating our intent to freeze our property title - fully stating the owner's intent to keep the title in their name/"frozen" unless property is legally transferred by government adverse action (lien) or through death of property owner (legitimate estate documents/probate). If one intends to sell or transfer property, they should file a "Notice of Intent" to "unfreeze" their property to sell or transfer property. The Notice of Intent/"freeze" should indicate to the recorder office an extra layer of scrutiny with property transfer. In reality, the extra layer of scrutiny should always have been there, but apparently the "system" doesn't believe it needs extra security (even though to get a library card, one is required to show a proper ID - but to steal someone's home you just get "rubber stamped" /accepted for recording queue by paying the recording fee, all the while the county clerk probably hasn't even looked up from their paperwork to even look you in the eye, let alone properly ID you as the legitimate owner - which, appallingly, is not a legal requirement for the recorder office - apparently it is too much work for them).

[@auntiem873]

The whole system was designed like that to make it easier for family members (spouses) to register the home after someone dies. Not to break their bank. Faster so they can move on without it being dragged out after a death. All it takes is doing this once (after a parents death or a spouse) to realize how easy it is. Then just watch the ads. That’s why she has estate and trust added to the name. The best way to fix this is to require a death certificate if you’re going to use that termination. If they do, then it’s fraud and the cops can do something right away, the family doesn’t have to go through an expensive trial to reverse it. The state does have to prosecute and win though. Getting the person through that trial can take time. Unless the courts can expedite those kinds of case.

[@avidreaderredxx]

Maybe one step that could be taken is with the notary? usually a notary is required to record the transactions they approve so that record could be put into and verified from a digital database. If the transaction isn’t recorded the actual notary can be contacted for verification before any changes in the deed. Doing this may also catch falsified/stolen/fraudulent notary stamps or bad actors.

[@theabsentmindedprofessor8357]

She was hoping the sale would go through and the proceeds would have been despensed to her then she would have been in the wind with little to no hope of him ever seeing the money. Damd infuriating.
