wire fraud at closing vs deed forgery
both hit real-estate counsel — wire fraud at closing is an in-flight disbursement to a fraud account with escrow email and title-software wire-instruction changes. title fraud deed forgery is a recorded instrument problem: grantee or county record diverges from the sale file without necessarily showing a spoofed wire thread. wrong call sends closing counsel to datatree deed export when the loss is an MT103 to a mule — or sends county recorder review to qualia audit when the harm is a forged deed on a vacant lot.
