County register of deeds urges residents to enroll in free property‑fraud alerts
Summary
Lora Freehling of the Berrien County Register of Deeds told the Michiana council about a free email alert service that notifies property owners when their name appears on new real‑property recordings; she cited two nearby incidents and provided the county website and office phone number for enrollment.
Lora Freehling, representing the Berrien County Register of Deeds, urged Village of Michiana residents to sign up for a free property‑fraud alert service that emails property owners whenever their personal or entity name is used in a new real‑property recording in the county. She said the notice is useful for owners of both improved and vacant land and noted there had been two recent incidents nearby that motivated outreach.
Freehling gave residents the registration options and contact information: the service can be set up at berrien.mi.publicsearch.us or by calling her office at 269-983-7111, extension 8562. "This program is a free notification service for Berrien County Property owners," she said, and flyers were left at village offices for residents who wanted more information.
