Residents of Reno County now have a new way to combat property fraud, a rising financial crime. Reno County has added Fraud Notify as part of their recently installed new land records management system.
Fraud Notify is offered free of charge to help address the ongoing dangers of property fraud. Property owners can subscribe to the service through the self-service portal on the Reno County Register of Deeds webpage at https://www.renocountyks.gov/property-fraud-notify. The service alerts the property owner when a document is recorded at the Reno County Register of Deeds office using their name.
“This program won’t prevent title fraud from happening but it will notify property owners of any suspicious activity regarding their title to real estate so they can take immediate action,” an official press release from Reno County wrote.
“By subscribing to Property Fraud Notify, you empower yourself to monitor your property records and receive immediate notification if any suspicious activity is detected, allowing you to quickly investigate and address potential fraud,” said Michelle Updegrove, Register of Deeds, Reno County.
Also known as deed fraud or mortgage fraud, this crime occurs when someone illegally transfers the ownership of a property to their name by forging documents, allowing them to sell the house or take out loans against it without the actual owner’s knowledge or consent. These crimes can cause victims significant financial loss and stress due to the complex process of proving their rightful ownership. With the rise of sophisticated identity theft methods and online access to personal information, concerns about title fraud have grown significantly in recent years.
The Mission of the Reno County Register of Deeds Office is to provide all services required by law concerning the documentation and record preservation of all land records filed in Reno County and to provide a convenient and professional office for the public to utilize our records. We constantly strive to be aware of statutory changes, technology advancements, and the development of staff to provide the citizens of Reno County with quality and timely service.
Those interested can contact the Reno County Register of Deeds Office at 620-694-2942 or email at RODrequest@renocountyks.gov
