Property Check/Fraud Alert Available At Many County Register of Deeds Websites
In North Carolina, 60 county Register of Deeds websites have a property notification alert service where you can enter your information, and be alerted if any documents are recorded regarding your property. Due to increasing instances of deed fraud and fake seller scams, it is highly recommended that you sign up for this free service if available in your county. They are named differently depending on the county, including Fraud Alert, Property Check and Property Notification, but they all serve the same purpose of sending you an email notice of a newly recorded document. For more information about deed fraud and actions to take if you become a victim, read this consumer article on our website.
