Property Check Alert

Unfortunately it is all too easy for a criminal to record a fraudulent deed making it appear as if they now own your home.  Once this step is complete, they can use your home as collateral on a mortgage or even attempt to sell your home to an unsuspecting buyer.

The Williamson County Recorder’s Office now offers a no-cost online subscription service that will allow the public the ability to have their name/property monitored within the County Recorder’s Office in order to track possible fraudulent activity.  Subscribers will be notified only when the name they have submitted is indexed off of documents recorded within the County Recorder’s Office.

Protecting consumer’s information and real estate property are top priorites and require more education and vigilance than at any time in the past.  Fraud and identity theft are commonplace problems in today’s world.  While Property Fraud Alert does not prevent fraud from happening it will provide and early warning system that will allow citizens to take appropriate actions should they deem possible fraudulent activity has occurred.
