A Transfer on Death Deed is usually only a $21.00 filing fee to insure your home is transferred to the person or persons of your choice at your death, helping your heirs to avoid the expense and time of probate.

Seller impersonation theft, “deed theft” or “home title fraud” is when someone by identity theft fraudulently transfers your property deed from you to another name without your knowledge or consent. Our Property Fraud Alert notification keeps you informed of your property interest with a FREE and confidential community service offered by the Register of Deeds office. The true owner is notified of any recorded activity, allowing the opportunity to immediately notify their mortgage lender, attorney, and file a case with the Sheriff’s office if fraud is detected.
