A North Carolina man claims that a woman he has never met before filed legal documents claiming ownership of his $4 million home and managed to obtain the deed to his property.
Raleigh dentist Dr. Craig Adams recently learned that the 8,300-square-foot home he has been living in for years is no longer in his name. Instead, it shows up in the name of a total stranger who allegedly filed “a false warranty claim deed against the house and basically tried to steal it.” Adams only learned that he apparently didn’t own his property anymore after a neighbor called to ask him if he had sold it and informed him that a woman named Dawn Mangum had asked for the gate access codes. Shockingly, the owner also presented what appeared to be a legal deed in her name. To Adams’ surprise, the deed had indeed been legally obtained from the Register of Deeds and could not be revoked.
