Lowell Deeds

While the Fall of 2007 may not be bringing cooler weather to the region, it is bringing several holidays that effect the operation of the registry of deeds. This coming Monday, October 8, 2007 is Columbus Day so we will be closed. Unlike the actual date of Columbus Day which varies from year to year, Veterans Day always falls on November 11 regardless of which day of the week that happens to be. This year it’s a Sunday. While I don’t have the citation, I believe that when such a holiday falls on a Sunday, it’s official observance shifts to Monday. That means that the courthouse will be closed on Monday, November 12, 2007 and, when the courthouse is closed, the registry of deeds is closed as well since we would not have access to the building.
