Marin District Attorney and Marin Assessor-Recorder Will Discuss Local Program to Aid Public in Avoiding Fraudulent Property Deed  Transfers

Marin County District Attorney Lori E. Frugoli and Marin County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk Shelley Scott have joined forces on a countywide program to help the public avoid becoming victims of property deed fraud, one of the fastest-growing white collar crimes in the United States. The local program provides notice to property owners when documents have been filed with the Assessor-Recorder to transfer ownership of their property. Property owners are advised to call their local police department or the District Attorney&#x27;s Office Real Estate Fraud unit as soon as possible if they were not aware of the property transfer.
