None of these services prevent anything, even the ones you pay for. All they do is to notify you that there has been some type of activity concerning your deed. It is up to you to take action. There is no way to lock your title.

One thing I’ve learned is this; if you sign up for anything “free” on the internet, it’s eventually gonna cost you. Free advice.

I find that most free advice is worth what you pay for it.

Every time a piece of real property changes hands a prudent buyer has a title search of the county clerks real estate records to verify the ownership of the property. Imagine the chaos if those records were kept secret!

there is a difference between what you are talking about and what I am talking about. HUGE difference. you really think that when a title company does a title search they use google??? that's hilarious!!!

I asked a few months ago and they did not have it. Maybe now they will
