I don't know but I heard an advertisement once while listening to Rush about how they could prevent this is you bought their service. Has to do with fake quit claim deeds.
I would like to know also. I was browsing one of those websites that tell you the value of your property and it said the home was sold in 2000.

That made me think about some kind of deed fraud protection but I don’t know how or where.
