📢 Protect Your Property with VADeed Alert – Free for Virginia Property Owners!

The Accomack County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office is encouraging property owners to enroll in VADeed Alert, a free, voluntary notification service designed by the Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) to help Virginians protect their property from deed fraud.
