Protect Your Home: A Free Service Every Massachusetts Homeowner Should Know About

Your home is one of your biggest investments, but did you know there’s a simple, FREE way to help protect it from property fraud?

Many Massachusetts homeowners don’t realize they can sign up for Property Fraud Alerts through their local Registry of Deeds.

What Is Property Fraud?

Property fraud occurs when someone uses forged or fraudulent documents to attempt to transfer ownership, obtain financing, or make unauthorized changes to property records.

While uncommon, it can be costly and stressful to resolve.

How Do Property Fraud Alerts Work?

Many Massachusetts Registries of Deeds offer free notifications when documents are recorded under your name.

Here’s why it’s worth signing up:

• It’s free and typically takes just minutes.
• You’ll be notified when matching documents are recorded.
• You can investigate suspicious activity sooner.

These alerts don’t prevent fraud, but they provide an extra layer of awareness.

How to Sign Up

• Massachusetts homeowners: Visit the official Massachusetts Property Fraud Alert page to find your local Registry and sign up.

• Hampden County homeowners: Visit the Hampden County Registry of Deeds for local resources.

• Not sure which Registry serves your town? Find your local Registry of Deeds here.

Take a few minutes today to sign up. It’s a simple step toward greater peace of mind!
