Title Cancellation and Registration

Prepared by: Constantinople

Identifying the Suspected Transaction

If you suspect a property transfer using a forged power of attorney in your name, first identify the transaction from the current entry. The date, journal number, apparent issuing authority and current owner are investigated. Information from a relative or an old title copy does not alone show the transfer chain. Risk of an ongoing transaction must be considered separately.

Examination of the Document and Signature

Your identity documents, records showing your whereabouts at the time and genuine powers of attorney you hold assist review. The complete suspected document and underlying transaction file must be obtained officially. Retain originals unchanged, and correspondence and notifications with dates. Sources of suitable signature comparison samples are identified separately according to the file's needs.

Civil Proceedings and Criminal Complaint

A criminal complaint and a civil action protecting ownership serve different purposes. A complaint does not automatically rectify the register or prohibit transfer. Whether the property remains with the first transferee or passed to another person matters. The subsequent person's reliance on the register and provisional protection are examined separately.

Preparing the File from Abroad

Planning authority for document retrieval and representation at the outset may reduce delay if you are abroad. In a paid review, we list available documents, missing official records and applications that should be assessed together in writing. No promise is made that one action or complaint route will automatically remedy every loss.
