Spring Community Outreach Schedule Announced by Register O'Donnell

From Norfolk Deeds: Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell announces the 2017 Spring Community Outreach Schedule. The Registry of Deeds Speaking Engagements and Office Hours are an integral part of its consumer outreach initiative. The Register and members of his staff will be at the following Senior Centers, Libraries, Town Halls and Community Center starting on Tuesday, April 4th through Tuesday, June 27th.Town

It is Register O'Donnell's goal to provide a convenient way for residents to learn more about how the Registry serves them as it conducts business closer to their homes, saving them time and money. "By releasing the spring schedule now it provides people with advance notice to put these dates on their calendars," noted the Register.

Although, Registry staff cannot provide legal advice, they will be on hand along with the Register, to answer basic questions, transport documents for recording and assist in the filling out of a Declaration of Homestead form that provides for limited protection against the forced sale of an individual's primary residence to satisfy unsecured debt up to $500,000. They will also assist a person in signing-up for the new Consumer Notification Program that alerts a homeowner when a transaction has been made against their property to alert them against potential cases of fraud.

Additionally, there will be on-site work stations that can provide real-time status of your mortgage discharge, print out a copy of your deed and provide a demonstration on how the Registry's On-Line Land Records Database works. No appointment is necessary.

Furthermore, Register O'Donnell is also available to speak to the membership of any of the professional or community organizations within Norfolk County. If interested, please call 781-461-6116 or email registerodonnell@norfolkdeeds.org.
