(a) There has not been a compensation payout due to a fraudulent land title. There has been one fraud claim paid due to a fraudulent transfer document that resulted in a change of ownership.
(b) Landgate works closely with the Office of the Public Advocate. Landgate has provided the Public Advocate with remote search capability to the Power of Attorney Register. The Public Advocate uses this information to enable her to carry out her statutory functions including the investigation of complaints.
