Most of us have seen the ads selling title protection alert services featuring a former title thief describing how he would steal people’s homes right out from underneath them. Now, Maricopa County residents can get a similar service for free.
The County launched Title Alert last week. It is a free service to help Maricopa County residents stay informed about document recordings and to protect them against title fraud and other unlawful documents.
The tool will function similarly to Google Alerts, according to the Maricopa County announcement, and will allow users to monitor recordings containing the names – individual names or business names – entered by the user. When a recorded document contains the entered name, the user will receive an email at the end of the day with a link to the relevant document.
The tool allows users to monitor recordings and immediately tack action if necessary.
Key Features of Maricopa Title Alert Include:
- Free Service: Maricopa Title Alert is free to all users.
- Easy Sign Up: Users can sign up in less than two minutes. All that is needed is a valid email address. The user can select alerts for multiple names under a single email.
- Business and Individual Monitoring: Users can monitor both personal names and business names.
- Email Notifications and Document Review: When a document is recorded that includes one of the entered names, Maricopa Title Alert will send an email notification with a link to review the recorded document. This enables users to promptly assess the content and take appropriate action, with law enforcement or otherwise, to protect their interests.
