Back to the point of this article: if someone steals my private key, do they now own my house?

What about liens? Will I as the owner agree to let an unpaid contractor put a lien against my title? Or can they somehow do it without my consent? If so, how do you stop bad actors from putting liens on everything?

The court is the authority on this. Title companies provide the valuable service of ensuring the state of the world matches what the seller claims.

We don’t need blockchain for this, a regular DB is sufficient.
