YOU could contact the officials in Marion Co. and ask and if the answer is no, you could ask "Why not?"

It's like Home Title Lock IMHO but instead of $19.95 a month it's FREE. We signed up and feel a little better. All explained in this Link that most will be afraid to open.... lol.

Property Fraud Alerts -

Sumter County Clerk of Courts

Would be nice if the Lake County website or office information is available. Does anyone have it ?

Thanks you!

Lake County, FL also offers the same or similar service. Google “Clerk of Court, Lake County, FL.” Then choose Fraud Alerts.

Understood, but all your info is still available online. The paper deed is basically a "backup" to what is publicly available.
Not sure how good this service is but for the price you can't go wrong. The company handling this (Fidlar) seems to have been around for over 20 years.

Thanks Mr Guy.

You are very welcome. I don't care if others sign up or not. I put it out there when I found it. I was looking because the wife was wondering if we needed Home Title Lock or something like it.

I would be interested in knowing which states and counties make real estate records secret.One of the first things William of Orange did in 1066ad was to create a Doomsday Book memorializing the ownership of every property in England, Scotland and Wales. That system has been maintained ever since in Great Britain and America. Every time a piece of real property changes hands a prudent buyer has a title search of the county clerks real estate records to verify the ownership of the property. Imagine the chaos if those records were kept secret!
