The Accomack County Circuit Court Clerk's Office is promoting VADeed Alert, a no-cost service that helps property owners monitor their deeds for potential fraud. The voluntary program aims to protect residents from deed-related scams and unauthorized property transfers.

Property owners in Accomack County, Virginia now have access to a free monitoring service designed to safeguard them against deed fraud, according to the local Circuit Court Clerk’s Office.

The clerk’s office is actively promoting enrollment in VADeed Alert, a complimentary and optional monitoring program that tracks changes to property deeds and alerts owners to potential fraudulent activity.

Deed fraud has become an increasingly concerning issue for property owners, as scammers attempt to illegally transfer ownership or use properties as collateral without the legitimate owner’s knowledge or consent.

The VADeed Alert system works by monitoring public records for any changes or filings related to a property owner’s deed. When activity is detected, the system automatically sends notifications to enrolled property owners, allowing them to quickly identify and respond to any unauthorized transactions.

Property owners interested in the service can sign up through the county’s official website or contact the Circuit Court Clerk’s Office directly for assistance with enrollment.

The initiative represents part of ongoing efforts by local government offices to help residents protect their most valuable assets from increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes targeting real estate ownership.
