A 1784 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Enhances protections against fraudulent deed recordings.

This bill requires property owners to submit an affidavit of title when recording deeds, enhancing fraud prevention. It mandates specific disclosures for property transfers (including new construction details with "NEW CONSTRUCTION" labeling) and requires county recording offices to notify the property owner whenever a deed is recorded. To cover notification costs, the bill allows an additional $2 fee per deed recording and lets owners provide preferred contact information (mail/email) for these notifications. The law directly affects anyone recording or receiving a deed for real property in New Jersey, aiming to prevent unauthorized property transfers.
