The City Register explains the process followed when someone reports that their property has been stolen through fraudulent deed transfer.

• When a property owner reports a stolen property, and the fraudulent document is already recorded, they are referred to the district attorney's office
• The district attorney's office investigates to determine if there is a valid case, as sometimes disputes involve family members
• If a case is established, the Department of Finance staff may need to testify in court that the fraudulent document was recorded
• The process can lead to indictment, trial, and potentially arrest of the perpetrator
• Council Member Hudson thanks the City Register for the explanation and moves on to other council members for questions
