PRESS RELEASE
Waseca County
A new website aims to give residents another way to avoid falling victim to fraud.
Linda Karst, the Waseca County Recorder, has implemented Land Notification, a website that allows residents to monitor their name for real estate activity.
The free service creates alerts based on a name or business name that residents provide. The alert will generate emails to residents when documents referencing the name have been recorded with the Waseca County Recorder’s office.
The website is a proactive way to prevent fraud. While the county has not yet seen an instance of fraud, a person could forge signatures of homeowners on a new deed or mortgage and commit a fraud worth thousands of dollars.
The program allows potential problems to be caught early and promptly fixed. Customers can now take a proactive approach to monitoring their home/land, which is often the largest investment one will make in their lifetime.
