Tuesday, April 7, 2020 Update

I haven't written for several days, mostly because we've settled into routine operations here at the Middlesex North Registry of Deeds. We are processing electronic recordings, in-coming mail and an occasional dropped-off document (mostly registered land and a few subdivision plans, things that can't be e-recorded).

The volume of recordings is down considerably this week from the prior two. I believe there is plenty of activity pending, but everyone else involved in the process is struggling to transition a business that required a great deal of in-person contact with a world that forbids that. Once people figure that out, there should be a burst of recording activity.
