Norfolk County Register of Deeds to speak at Needham Council on Aging

From Norfolk County Register of Deeds:

Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell has been invited to speak to the seniors of Needham on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2016 at 2 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Needham Council on Aging, Center At The Heights, 300 Hillside Ave. in Needham Heights.

The short speaking program will touch on the historical nature of the Registry and the register’s efforts to modernize and computerize the vast number of Norfolk County real estate records. Following his remarks, the register will be available to answer individual questions. Members of the register’s staff will also be available to assist in providing information about the Massachusetts Homestead Act. On-site work stations will be available to provide the status of a mortgage discharge, print a copy of your deed or provide a demonstration on how the Registry’s online land records database works.

This is a community outreach initiative sponsored by the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds. It is Register O’Donnell’s goal to provide a convenient way for residents to learn more about how the Registry serves Norfolk County. Although Registry staff cannot provide legal advice, they will be able to answer basic questions, provide general information, take a document for recording and assist in filling out a Declaration of Homestead form.

Further event information is available on the Registry's Facebook page.
