Next Tuesday the Massachusetts Registers of Deeds Association has its winter meeting in Worcester. All registers and assistant registers are members of this organization that meets several times each year. One of the group's biggest accomplishments thus far was the creation and adoption of Deed Indexing Standards back in 2000. Hopefully, this meeting will be the start of an effort to update these standards to include many of the gray areas that have developed in the past few years. These meetings are always interesting because the group has many friendly factions: big versus small registries and county versus state registries to name just two. If any readers of the blog have suggestions about topics that should be raised at this meeting please let me know. I haven't seen the agenda yet, but there's always an opportunity to raise new business.
