If a deed is valid, it is not fraudulent.

Prevent unethical behavior?...you find that everywhere and it has nothing to do with a valid deed.

With all due respect, just what kind of a question is this? What does a valid deed have to do with fraud and unethical behavior?

this is why in the state of MA, attorneys prepare all legal documents and they do the title search plus certify title to the bank and the buyer...

I dont think that a deed has that much power, but if it is valid then it is not fraudulent.

You cannot stop attempts of fraud and you cannot prevent unethical behavior by others. If you have a valid deed, it should be recorded. Having title insurance is even better protection.

Fraud can happen even with valid documents IMO... happens every day.  That's where the attorney comes into play along with title insurance.

Home is where the hearth is.

If you reorganize the letters in "Valid Deed", it spells "Dead Devil"...  spooky, no?  Could be an indication of fraud, or could be unethical.  Or could be fraudulently unethical.

The devil made me do it.
