The idea that the blockchain can save you in this situation seems like pure fantasy to me. A record of ownership is only useful if the government is willing to enforce it. Otherwise it's not worth the paper/bits it's written on. > For titles on homes which are subject to liens, it would be a great consumer benefit to be able to access this information without paying several hundred dollars for a title search. This is useful, but doesn't require blockchain at all. Just a public API/database and a set of legislation that would force use of said API. A blockchain would require the same legislation anyways to ensure completeness.
