Identity theft isn’t new. In 16th-century France, a man named Arnaud du Tilh impersonated a missing villager, Martin Guerre, and fooled an entire town, including Guerre’s own wife. For years, he lived as Martin, even fathering children and claiming inheritance rights. But just as his deception began to unravel in court, the real Martin Guerre returned - on a wooden leg. Arnaud was exposed, tried, and ultimately executed in one of history’s most fascinating early cases of identity theft. Today, we know that identity theft has evolved into a sophisticated threat. Now, it’s not just about stealing identities but also targeting valuable assets, like your home. Real estate identity theft comes in many forms: forged deeds, fraudulent refinancing, impersonating real estate agents, or even selling a home without the owner’s knowledge. The impact? It can compromise your biggest investment and leave you questioning your sense of security. But owning a home shouldn’t have to feel risky—take the proper precautions to keep your home and peace of mind secure.
