  • 1.  ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Property Fraud Prevention Starts with Awareness: Florida's Free Property Alert Services

    Posted 23 days ago

    In an age where real estate fraud schemes are increasingly sophisticated, early detection is essential. Across Florida, Clerks and Comptrollers are offering Property Alert Services - a no-cost, high-impact tool to help mitigate the risk of deed and title fraud.

    This statewide initiative provides timely email notifications when a deed, mortgage, or other land record is filed in your name within county official records. For attorneys, title agents, and property owners alike, this alert system is a critical first line of defense.

     

    Why it matters to the title and legal community:


    Property fraud - often perpetrated through forged documents - can result in clouded title, costly litigation, and reputational risk. While a fraudulent deed may not convey legal ownership, responding promptly is essential to preserving clear title and rightful ownership.

     

    Key Benefits:

     

    • ๐Ÿ“ฌ Immediate alerts for recorded activity in your name
    • ๐Ÿ”’ No exposure of personal information to public record
    • โœ… Available in participating counties across Florida
    • ๐Ÿ’ผ Ideal for homeowners, investors, legal counsel, and title professionals

     

    ๐Ÿ”— Explore participating counties and register here: https://www.flclerks.com/page/PropertyAlertServices

     

    As stewards of real property integrity, we all share responsibility for safeguarding ownership rights. This simple step can help prevent costly consequences for your clients and your practice.

    This is a fantastic initiative by the Clerks and Comptrollers-Property Alert Services are an important first line of defense in catching potentially fraudulent activity after it occurs.

    For those looking to add an extra layer of proactive protection, I wanted to introduce LandLock. It's a solution designed to prevent deed fraud and title theft before a forged document is even recorded.

    Unlike monitoring services that alert you after something is filed, LandLock discreetly links a property owner's identity to their property-without revealing that identity publicly-making it far more difficult for fraudsters to impersonate an owner and get a document through in the first place.

    This is a one-of-a-kind service-no other product offers this level of proactive protection.

    It's not a replacement, but rather a complementary tool to alerts and title insurance. Especially for high-value or vulnerable properties, it's a meaningful way to strengthen a protection strategy.

    Please go to landlock.com.

    Itโ€™s a patent-pending innovative method to PREVENT title theft. Thereโ€™s no preventative tool like it.

    Thank you.

    This initiative is excellent; I'm pleased that Florida is taking this step. I hope other states will follow. Every action we can take as a team to combat fraud in the industry is valuable.
