CONCERNING THE RECORDATION AND FILING OF A DEED OR OTHER INSTRUMENT THAT CONVEYS REAL PROPERTY OR AN INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY.

Senate Bill 69 modifies the process for recording deeds that convey real property without warranty in Arkansas, primarily affecting property owners and county recorders. It requires that such deeds can only be recorded in the county where the property is located. The bill also mandates county recorders to offer a form that property owners can complete to prevent their property from being conveyed without warranty unless specific conditions are met, such as signing the deed and presenting government-issued photo identification in person at the recorder's office. County recorders may charge a one-time fee for this protective service, with different rates based on factors like age, disability, or property occupancy.
