   It just seems to easy to misrepresent oneself as the true owner     
   of a property.  Meanwhile, no one seems to check with the     
   actual owners themselves!  ..and a property can proceed with a     
   mortgage/sale and the true owners don't even have a clue that     
   is going on.

   This is the problem with purely relying on paper documents to     
   "prove" identity - they don't.

   How could it have been deemed "transferred legally" when it was     
   done criminally?  The problem is that people working in these     
   offices (banks, deed office, lawyers, etc..) just look at "the     
   documents" and not the people (their history, background, photo     
   matches, etc.)
