How do you check if your deed is safe?

Checking whether a deed is safe starts with pulling the current recorded deed from the county register of deeds to confirm the owner of record matches who you expect, since deed theft usually involves a forged document filed without the real owner's knowledge. Setting up alerts through the county's recording office, where available, can flag any new filing against your property going forward.
