To protect the title on your house, you can: obtain title insurance, regularly monitor your credit reports, check public records for any errors on your title, consider setting up a title alert system with your county recorder, and be vigilant about incoming bills to catch potential fraudulent activity;essentially, actively monitoring your property ownership information to prevent title fraud. 

Key points to remember:

• Title Insurance:
This is the most crucial step, as it provides financial protection against claims on your title, including fraudulent sales or errors in previous ownership documentation. 

• Credit Monitoring:
Regularly review your credit reports for any suspicious activity, as identity theft can be used to fraudulently transfer property ownership. 

• Public Records Check:
Periodically check the county recorder’s office to verify that your property information is accurate and that no unauthorized documents have been filed. 

• Title Alert System:
Some counties offer a “title alert” service where you are notified if any documents are filed related to your property. 

• Be Cautious with Bills:
Pay close attention to all bills related to your property, including utility bills and property taxes, as changes in billing addresses could indicate fraudulent activity. 

Other measures to consider:

• Identity Theft Protection Services:
Consider using services that monitor your personal information for potential misuse. 

• Credit Freeze:
Placing a credit freeze on your credit report can further restrict unauthorized access to your information. 

• Cybersecurity Practices:
Maintain good online security habits to protect your personal information from being compromised
