FAQ
In most cases, it is not possible for someone to sell your house without your knowledge or consent, especially if they do not have a power of attorney. A power of attorney is a legal document that grants someone the authority to act on your behalf, and it can include the power to sell your property.
If they have a power of attorney from the owner to sell the property that would be fine. If they sell the property without any legal authority to do so this would be fraud.
If you are on the deed, the home cannot be sold without your consent or signature. How to make sure if I am on the deed? You can go to the property appraisal office or their website to review the deed.
Can someone sell a house if your name is on the deed? If your name is on the deed as a co-owner, joint tenant, or tenant in common, the other owner(s) generally have the legal right to sell the house without your consent.
Check with your county clerk. They may have a property fraud alert system for which you can sign up. Also let them know that you have experienced suspicious activity and that you believe someone may be trying to steal your title or other fraudulent activity. Talk to your title company, and mortgage company as well.
The best way you can prevent deed fraud is to register for the Notice of Recorded Document Program. Whenever a document is recorded on your property, you will be notified. If you suspect that fraudulent documents were recorded or were recorded without authorization, you should contact the Sheriff's Office immediately.
Also called “home title fraud,” deed fraud is house theft. It happens when someone lays claim to your home's real estate title and transfers it into their name without you knowing. It grants the criminal the rights to the home, the home's equity, or rental income from the home.
In New York, your legal entitlement to half of the house does not depend on whether your name is on the deed or mortgage. New York is an equitable distribution state, which means that in the event of a divorce, the court divides marital property based on what is fair, not necessarily a 50-50 split.
If you disagree with the assessed value on your annual Notice of Property Value (NOPV), you can appeal with the New York City Tax Commission, an independent agency. The Tax Commission can reduce your property's assessment, change its tax class, and adjust exemptions.
