Pass The Deed Fraud Prevention Act

For most Rhode Islanders, their home is not just a structure. It is the place where they raised their children. It is the mortgage they paid for 30 years. It is the equity they are counting on for retirement.
It is, quite literally, their life’s work.
Deed fraud occurs when criminals illegally transfer property ownership by filing forged documents, often without the homeowner’s knowledge or consent. Older adults are targeted because they are more likely to own their homes outright, may have multiple properties, and sometimes are not living in or regularly monitoring their homes due to health or life changes. The consequences are devastating. Victims can lose their homes, savings, and peace of mind, and the fraud often goes undetected for years.
AARP Rhode Island is working with Speaker Pro Tempore Kennedy and Senate President Lawson to combat this horrific crime.
