Click on Add Alert. do this for all names that are on your deed and recorded documents, and any different variations you have of your name(s). Include common misspellings of your name and any alias or former name you may have. Do this for your spouse or co-owner's name(s) that are on your deed. If you have a business name, LLC, or trust name on any property you will want to get alerts on those as well. (Those you will select Business instead of Individual in the drop down before entering.)

You will get an alert anytime something is recorded in our office with your name on it. If you know you have not had anything recorded you can double check to see if it is you or someone with your same name. And if it is indeed fraud you can take action. We cannot do anything here in our office, however you can contact authorities and get advice from an attorney on how to proceed. You can Log In anytime by going back to the page you used to Sign Up and clicking Log In at the top.
