Registry Update: April 21, 2020

We had a busy day today with 398 documents recorded. Mondays are usually our busiest day due to a high volume of mail, but Tuesdays that follow a Monday holiday (Patriots Day) are even busier.

Electronic recording is our biggest source of documents by far. However, we still get a considerable volume of mail and Fedex and UPS both routinely make deliveries. The Justice Center is closed to anyone who is not an employee, including mail carriers and delivery people, but the Court Officers staffing the entrance will take deliveries just outside the front entrance and we've had no problems getting packages intended for us.

This is also the case with documents that are dropped off for recording. We do ask you to call us to let us know you are coming or have just been here.

If you have Registered Land, we do require you to email your documents first to lowelldeeds@comcast.net so we can review them before you send them or drop them off. This makes it easier to make the minor technical corrections that are frequently necessary for Land Court registrations. Once we review the documents, we email you back with any needed fixes or with the go-ahead to get us your original documents.

We have the same requirement for plans. Take a picture of what you intend to record and email it. Once you get a reply from us, you can send or deliver your plan.

Finally, during the pandemic  emergency we have stopped recording at 4pm rather than our normal 4:15. Please keep that in mind if you're rushing to get something on record by the end of the day.
