I believe I am a victim of deed theft. What can I do?
Answer
L 2023, ch 630 signed by Governor Hochul on November 14, 2023 responded to complaints of scammers and con artists taking advantage of elderly and minority homeowners with fraudulent loans. The law added section 756-a to the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law. Deed theft cases are complex and should be reported to the Office of the New York Attorney General.
