    Why It Matters

    Confidence Begins
    With Knowing.

    A deed can be forged. A lien can be recorded without your knowledge. And once a document is filed against your property, it can quietly affect your title, your financing, or your ability to sell, often long before you'd ever notice.

    Property monitoring brings these changes into the light, so the first you hear of them is a timely, professional notification, not a problem discovered too late.

    1

    Public records are public.

    Recorded documents become part of a record anyone can search.

    2

    Fraud is often silent.

    Forged deeds and unauthorized filings can go unnoticed for months.

    3

    Awareness changes outcomes.

    The sooner you know, the sooner you can review and act.

    Common Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear, straightforward answers about how deed monitoring works.

    How does deed monitoring work?

    We continuously track publicly recorded documents tied to your property PIN or address. If a deed transfer, mortgage, lien, or related document is filed, you receive a prompt notification.

    Can deed monitoring prevent fraudulent documents from being filed?

    No company can prevent unauthorized filings at the county level. Deed monitoring gives you early awareness so you can review recorded documents quickly and take appropriate action.

    How quickly are changes detected?

    Most notifications occur shortly after the recording authority indexes the public document. Speed depends on your county's electronic recording systems.

    Are discounted plans available?

    Yes. We offer an honored $29.97/month rate for eligible seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
