William P. O’Donnell, Register of Deeds - Wellesley COA

The Register gives an overview of the Registry and discuss, among other things, homestead protection, mortgage discharges, the increase in certain types of deed scams, and the ability to lookup Land Documents dating back to the first ones recorded in 1793 through the Registry of Deeds’ online research system. The program also includes information about the Registry’s free Consumer Notification Service, which sends an automated alert to property owners of any registry activity that contains their name in the associated city or town where they live. The event concludes with a brief question-and-answer session to address any specific questions attendees had.
