Recently we attended a presentation on cyber-security and learned that there is growing threat to homeowners regarding property and mortgage fraud. The Lake County Illinois Recorder of Deeds now has an online registration. After you have registered your email or phone number they will notify you when there is an activity associated with your property. Note: register with variations of your name (i.e. with middle name; middle initial only; no middle name, etc.) Go to Property Check at: http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Recorder/Pages/Property_Check.aspx
