Register O'Donnell Promotes Protection Against Real Estate Fraud

	Norfolk County Registry of Deeds
	Register O'Donnell Promotes Protection Against Real Estate Fraud Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell today reminded county homeowners of a free on-line Consumer Notification Service offered by the Registry of Deeds to protect county property owners against fraud. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation, (F.B.I.)," noted Register O'Donnell, "continues to assign resources to combat property/deed and mortgage fraud. Many jurisdictions across the country have reported unscrupulous individuals recording fraudulent land documents making it appear they own another person's home or property. Fortunately, we have not seen this type of crime take place in Norfolk County. My intent here is not to upset county property owners but to make sure my office is out front vigorously protecting consumers." Any owner of real property in the twenty-eight communities comprising Norfolk County can join the more than 975 homeowners already utilizing the service by signing up for the Consumer Notification Service free of charge by doing the following: Go to the Registry's website www.norfolkdeeds.org, and click on the Consumer Notification Service Get Consumer "Alerts" button to complete the initial registration. From there, follow the remaining sign-up instructions. Once you have signed up for the service, each subscriber will be able to input two names, individual or business, and the corresponding city or town in Norfolk County for monitoring. They can monitor their real estate records for such activities as changes in deeds, mortgages, mortgage discharges, non-mortgage liens, Homesteads or other land documents that might be recorded against the property. O'Donnell stated, "The process to sign-up for the service is user friendly and will only take a few minutes. This free program will not prevent the fraud, but it will allow residents to find out about it in a more timely manner." If a document is recorded against one of the names inputted for monitoring, the subscriber will be alerted via email, usually within 24 hours. The person can check the Registry's on-line land research records at www.norfolkresearch.org as an option. If a subscriber believes a fraudulent land record has been recorded against their property, they should then immediately contact the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds Customer Service Center at (781) 461-6101. After talking with a Registry employee, the subscriber will be given a list of public safety referrals by the Registry. Register O'Donnell concluded, "As Norfolk County Register of Deeds, I am focused on making sure the recording of land documents is accomplished in a secure, accurate and accessible manner. I also want to be proactive in taking any and all steps to minimize the potential for fraudulent activity related to land document recordings. The Registry's Consumer Notification Service provides a level of protection to the program's subscribers against dishonest individuals who would attempt to commit real estate or land document fraud. After all, the biggest asset most of us have is our home. I urge people to sign up for this program."

The Love Dogs Headline THE BLACK BOX - June 8

THE BLACK BOX New England Artist Series presents The Love Dogs, featuring rockin' rhythm and blues, on Saturday, June 8 at 8 PM at the downtown Franklin venue. With barrelhouse boogie-woogie piano, stinging Fender guitar, and a red-hot horn section of trombone and alto, tenor and baritone saxes, The Love Dogs also showcases a swinging rhythm section that Blues Review magazine called "the best in the business" and a charismatic front man with one of the biggest blues voices around. Based out of Boston, the septet recently celebrated its 20th year.

Combining elements of jump blues, New Orleans R&B, and early rock 'n' roll, The Love Dogs have played juke joints, festivals, and concert halls across the U.S. and Canada and on both sides of the Atlantic. They've released four CDs. Many of the cuts have been blues radio favorites and several of the Dogs' signature original songs have been used in feature films and on television. Voted "Best New England Band" by Blues Audience magazine, The Love Dogs is part Rat Pack party, part 20th century musical encyclopedia, and part revival meeting.

A full bar is available. The home of the Franklin Performing Arts Company, THE BLACK BOX is located at 15 West Central Street. 

For tickets and more information, visit www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com or call (508) 528-3370. You can follow THE BLACK BOX on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
