Document Alert Does Not Stop Recordings
Understanding Property Fraud
Property fraud occurs when someone records documents against your property in an attempt to claim ownership or gain financially.
Staying informed about activity involving your property records is one way to help identify possible issues early.
How Document Alert Helps
Document Alert monitors newly recorded documents and sends you an email notification when a document matches the information you choose to watch, such as your name or property parcel number.
If something looks suspicious, you can review the recording and decide what action to take next.

If You Receive an Unexpected Alert
Receiving an alert does not automatically mean fraud has occurred. Review the recorded document first to determine why you received the notification.
If you believe a document was recorded fraudulently, consider contacting appropriate legal resources or law enforcement for guidance.
