New Michigan laws crack down on deed fraud scammers
Bridge Detroit
Mario Lemons received a note on his front door in 2021 informing him that another person owned the home he had recently purchased.
The school principal thought they had the wrong address, or that it was a joke. To Lemons’ chagrin, the note was serious.
An out-of-state investor claimed to own the home and had proof of purchase from two years prior. In the timespan between Lemons’ and the investor’s purchases, someone else had filed a fraudulent document with the county that gave the appearance of a transfer in ownership. Now, Lemons and the investor are involved in court proceedings to determine the rightful owner of the property on the desirable street of West Outer Drive.
