Modifies provisions governing documents filed or recorded with the recorder of deeds
HB 1943, titled "The Real Property Fraud Prevention Act," requires county recorders of deeds to notify property owners when a general warranty deed or quitclaim deed affecting their property is submitted for recording. Recorders must delay recording for five business days to send notifications via phone, email, text, or mail to property owners listed in tax records. Property owners can confirm a deed's legitimacy to bypass the delay, or report fraud to trigger a two-day court review period. Exceptions allow immediate recording for deeds submitted by licensed real estate brokers or reviewed by licensed title companies providing title insurance.
