    Guys, this a national threat. I have since 2011 owned my retirement property in eastern TN, with me being in SE TX. I received 2 calls from my future neighbors up there 3 months apart. They were asking what I was asking for my property. I replied it's not for sale, a for sale sign had been placed there by a realtor in the area. This happened 2 separate times back to back. The FBI was involved and advised me they are aware of this problem, that most of the time it originates from other countries, to which they have no extradition powers. Be aware...

    Why should land owners get insurance for the screw-up of a closing attorney?

      Because we are building tons of tiny walled housing abominations all over, taking out small cities, raising school taxes for old residents, pilling homes along the freeway next to Walmarts, destroying Texas one 'California style' abomination at a time. It is planned and on purpose...dystopia in real time for profit. Worked in California...!

    Might have to start fingerprinting sellers and buyers.

    A law needs to be passed that no land or tax office can give out any information on property or property owners. Also in that law the true owner should be protected just like you are protected on your debit card.

    Deed transfer paperwork would have fingerprints of the Seller on any legitimate documents. Correct?

    Seems like it would have to be an inside job to get away with this crime.

    Too many middle men in the system. Land should go through the state.
