Nat, Rhonda, and Jason talk with real estate attorney Tom Kanger about deeds, title fraud concerns, and how ownership is actually protected. They walk through the Raleigh news story that sparked the discussion, the realities of fraudulent filings, and why the chain of title and proper recording at the Register of Deeds are the real safeguards. Tom explains how attorneys verify ownership, how forged or incorrect documents are handled, and why fraudulent deeds rarely result in a true loss of property.
They also cover title searches, quiet title actions, easements, adverse possession, and the role of the Register of Deeds. The group discusses common scams targeting new homeowners, how to spot them, and why most “title theft protection” products are unnecessary. Tom shares practical steps homeowners can take, including using the county fraud alert system, and the hosts close with their own perspectives on risk and prevention.
