It is an unfortunate fact that fraud happens everywhere. Property and Mortgage Fraud is one of the fastest growing white collar crimes, according to the FBI.
Monitoring the recording of documents/instruments in your name can help alert you to something that is fraudulent and could cost you one of your most valuable assets, your property.
The Recorder of Deeds office is required to record any document that is presented into their office when all required data is properly executed and payment is received with said document. There is no way for the Recorder of Deeds office to know if the document is fraudulent or not if all the required data is executed properly. Once a fraudulent document is recorded, the criminal may use your name as collateral on a mortgage or even attempt to sell your home to an unsuspecting buyer.
This is also a way to monitor that legitimate documents are actually filed after you finish with closing or take out or pay off a mortgage.
Don’t let this happen to you! This FREE Record Alert system will notify you if a document is recorded based on the names you enter into the Alert System.
