It’s basically insuring that the title AT THAT TIME as represented by the title search/statement is accurate. Similar to a car deal where once you leave the lot (place of signing contract) whatever happens next is on the new owners.

I may be wrong but I would assume a house of that size has a mortgage and those documents would validate ownership

I would also enter the home with a gun and if they didn't leave I would decapitate their knees and feet

There is a path to justice.

It's just not immediate, for good reason. That's what due process is for.

Then you'd be arrested like the sheriff who just killed that judge for felonious self help.

Do they not need a notary for a quitclaim?

This is why you keep a home in corp or a trust

If you're willing to dip your toes into fraud, nothing prevents using fraudulent notary verifications.

When I got my notary seal I was shocked that anyone could just order one. There wasn't a real verification process. I felt like Taco in the League

It is, at closing the title company is insuring clear title without encumbrances.

I dont disagree but usually these are filed at the county recorder office so no one could tell it was a sus notary seal

Or are you allowed to file online (which would be insane) in NC

You can file online in most jurisdictions, I believe.

You want a notary stamp? I can get you a notary stamp

*ETA: you can even buy electronic notary seals

Always buy owner’s title insurance. Lender’s title insurance will do nothing for the owner.

Not sure if title insurance will come into play here, but it’s still worth it regardless.

Should have been, she committed fraud, and likely a number of other crimes.

The person who registered the deed should face some questions too.

Murder would be on the table for something like this. Absolutely. If I were on a jury, I would immediately nullify. That would stop that practice.

You mean the employee at the county clerk? Why? They just file the documents. They're not allowed to make legal judgments.

Real home owner: set up a trust, transfer property to trust. Get that all filed.

Make the fraudster sue you if they want to sell the property (your transfer would stop any sale because it would show up on the title report), which should not go well since fraudster can’t prove ownership.

I don't know why it would make such a difference. Most notary seals these days are just stamps. No way for a person to tell in person if it's legit or not.

The documents would just say the trust transferred it. Putting the RE in a trust wouldn't prevent fraud, and if you're saying to put it in a trust AFTER the fraud, that wouldn't be possible (b/c the records would not reflect the proper ownership to permit the owner to transfer to a trust).

Quitclaims should be filed in person with the recorders notary imo since that would stop this

But every notaries name is on the document. So just getting a notary seal shouldnt be enough to pull this off

The guy needs to find that notary or prove that the notary doesnt exist
