Circuit Court Clerk Launches VADeed Alert to Help Protect Property Owners from Deed Fraud Wythe County, Virginia

Wythe County, VA- The Office of Clerk of Circuit Court for Wythe County is encouraging property owners to enroll in VADeed Alert, a free, voluntary notification service designed by the Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) to help Virginians protect their property from deed fraud.

VADeed Alert allows residents to receive electronic notifications whenever a document is recorded in the local land records that matches their name or Tax Map/Parcel ID number. These alerts can provide early warning of potentially fraudulent activity, such as unauthorized deed transfers or filings.

“Deed fraud is a growing concern nationwide,” said Jeremiah Musser, Clerk for Circuit Court for Wythe County. “VADeed Alert gives property owners a simple and effective way to stay informed and take quick action if something doesn’t look right.”

The service does not prevent documents from being recorded, nor does it validate the legality of a filing. Instead, it serves as an additional layer of awareness, enabling property owners to review activity related to their property and contact the clerk’s office or seek legal advice if needed.

Key Features of VADeed Alert:

· Free to use
· Available to all property owners in Virginia
· Notifications sent by email
· Users can monitor their name, business name, or Tax Map/Parcel ID number
· Enrollment is quick and can be completed online in just a few minutes.

How to Sign Up:
· Property owners can visit https://risweb.vacourts.gov/VADeedAlert/ to register and begin receiving notifications.
· For questions about VADeed Alert or local land records, residents may contact the Wythe County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office at 276-223-6050 or email [email protected].

About the Clerk of the Circuit Court: The Clerk of the Circuit Court maintains official court records, including land records, probate filings, and civil and criminal case documents, and serves as a constitutional officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
