What should you do if you think your deed was stolen?

Call your lawyer immediately and ask them to pull a current title search through Information Services Corporation to see exactly what is registered against the property right now. Acting quickly matters, because the sooner a fraudulent filing is caught, the fewer legal steps are needed to reverse it.

Your lawyer can also lodge a complaint with ISC to flag the file while the search is underway, which helps stop a further transfer from being registered on top of the fraudulent one while the matter is being sorted out.

Report it to the Saskatoon Police Service as identity fraud as well, since a police file supports both the ISC complaint and, if it comes to that, a court application to correct the title through the Court of King's Bench.

Expect legal fees in the $800 to $1,500 range even for a straightforward correction, more if a court application is needed, and treat the first phone call to your lawyer as the most time-sensitive step in the whole process. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
