ESCANABA, MI-- Delta County officials want citizens to be aware of a potential scam in the area.
The Register of Deeds office has received information that a Washington, D.C. company has sent “Deed Processing Notices” to local property owners. The notices state residents can obtain a copy of their “Grant Deed” through that company for $83.
Delta County Register of Deeds Nancy Kolich says anyone can obtain a copy of their deed for $1 a page at the County Courthouse. Most deeds are one to two pages.
