As HousingWire recently reported, the fragmentation across 3,000-plus local registries has created a multibillion-dollar opening for deed fraud. When ownership data is siloed and verification relies on manual oversight, the system becomes a playground for bad actors. Digitization was supposed to fix this, but moving a paper deed to a PDF doesn't change the underlying vulnerability. If a fraudulent signature is recorded digitally, the speed of the system simply makes the fraud harder to claw back.
