Question on identity theft.

This did not happen to me but if someone ever do this to you.

If someone stole your identity and used your information to buy a house can you sell that house? Even if they were living in that house?
 
Re: Question on identify theft.

Most contracts are nulled upon the discovery of fraud. Ownership of the house would be pending the criminal and civil investigation under mortgage fraud. You could be awarded the home during the property hearing, but that is up to the judge. I would go direct with the finance company and investigating authorities to see what options you have.
