Register of Deeds Office Hours in Westwood

Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell will hold office hours in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at Westwood Town Hall on Thursday, May 10 from 10 a.m. to noon. 

The Register and his staff will be on hand to answer questions or concerns about any Registry of Deeds matter. He will have information about the Massachusetts Homestead Act, as well as computers and printers that can be used to confirm the status of a mortgage discharge, print out a deed or demonstrate how the Registry's website works. No appointment is necessary. 

This is part of a community outreach program sponsored by Register O'Donnell to make it convenient for residents who have a Registry question, an interest in understanding the recording process or difficulty traveling to the Registry building in Dedham. 

Although the Registry staff cannot provide legal advice, they can provide answers to basic questions, give general information, provide Homestead Declaration forms, take a document for recording or confirm that a document has been recorded.
