Plymouth: Register of Deeds warns about overpriced deed service

A number of Plymouth County residents have apparently been the victims of an overpriced service offered by a company located outside Massachusetts. The illinois-based National Record Service, Inc. offers consumers certified copies of deeds for $59.50. But Register of Deeds John Buckley says consumers can get a certified copy of their deed for just $1.50, directly from the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds at either of its offices in Plymouth, Rockland or Brockton. Buckley noted that a company from Washington D.C. conducted a similar scam in the past. Buckley says he has informed the office of Attorney General Martha Coakley about the activities of National Record Service, Inc.
