Real Property - Deeds - Recordation Requirements
SB 723 requires that deeds for residential property transactions involving title insurance must include the title insurer's name and policy number when recorded. This affects homebuyers, sellers, title insurers, and county recorders in Maryland. The bill amends Maryland's real property law to add this specific requirement to Section 3-104(f)(7) of the Annotated Code. It takes effect October 1, 2026, applying only to transactions where title insurance was obtained.
