Bucks County Recorder of Deeds now offers a Fraud Alert program that is designed to protect Bucks County property owners’ deeds. It is easy to sign up, and a FREE service to all Bucks County residents and business owners.
As the Recorder of Deeds, Dan McPhillips knows the purchase of your property is most likely the largest and most important purchase of a lifetime. To protect your investment, you are encouraged to enroll in the Fraud Alert program. Once enrolled, the property owner will be alerted anytime a document has been recorded in the office against your name or parcel number. A cell phone or email address is needed to sign up for this program. They recommend you sign up by both name and parcel number for assurance. Sign up at: www.landex.com/recordalert/bucks or if you need assistance, contact their office at 215-348-6209 or email Dan at djmcphillips@buckscounty.org
Should you receive an alert (text message or email), follow the instructions and contact their office immediately. If fraudulent activity occurs, you will be connected with the District Attorney’s office. It is important you follow-up on any alert and never assume it was received in error.
