Register O’Donnell Reaches Out To Weymouth Residents

From Norfolk County Registry of Deeds: Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell and his outreach team held office hours this past Thursday, October 12th at Weymouth Town Hall. The Registry of Deeds is the principal office for real property records in Norfolk County cataloguing and housing more than 6 million land documents dating back to 1793.

O’Donnell and his staff met with members of the general public and were able to provide copies of property deeds, answer questions about the Homestead Act, and verify the proper paperwork for mortgage discharges had been recorded.

The Register noted another benefit of the office hours. “Registry staff was able to bring land documents back to the office for recording, saving Weymouth residents the time and expense of traveling to the Registry’s central office in Dedham.”

Register O’Donnell concluded by saying “I want to express my appreciation and thanks to Mayor Hedlund, the Weymouth Town Council and the entire staff at town hall for their cooperation in allowing us to bring the Registry directly to the citizens of Weymouth.”
