How do I protect myself from deed theft when I list a vacant or inherited Hollywood house?

Protecting a vacant or inherited Hollywood house from deed theft starts with checking the county register of deeds periodically for any unauthorized filings and keeping the property visibly maintained and secured so it does not look abandoned. South Carolina also requires a licensed attorney to supervise every closing, which adds a real check against a fraudulent transfer slipping through.
