Q: Can someone steal your home by filing a certificate into the Deed Records? What are they trying to pull by doing this?
I am a landlord in Fulton county who has been evicting a tenant for the last 14 months. This tenant has filed a certificate into the Deeds Record. The certificate filed is a “certificate of trust.” This certificate contains information about a trust she has created and in this trust she adds my property and lists herself as the trustee. In this document an amendment “to add a successor trustee and revised lease agreement.” is mentioned. This person has no ownership in my home. She is a renter and that is all but she is trying everything she can to steal my home.

A: At the least you will need a GA attorney to file a Quiet Title Action to remove the cloud. There may be other courses of actions, but clearing the Title is paramount if you cannot get her to quit claim her asserted interest as trustee to you.
