IN SR0043

Indiana Senate resolution recognizing the importance of awareness about title fraud, also known as "deed theft," where property titles are illegally transferred using forged documents or fake identification

Title fraud can result in foreclosure or eviction for property owners, even if they still reside in the home

Property owners can protect themselves by signing up for local government fraud alert programs, periodically checking online tax and property documents, and keeping ownership records secure

Warning signs include not receiving property tax forms, receiving mail addressed to someone else, and unexpected notices from banks or government offices

Secretary of the Senate directed to transmit copies of the resolution to J.R. Ryder
