A 3423 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes certain protections against deed theft.

This bill (A3423) establishes protections against deed theft in New Jersey by requiring courts to pause certain property-related legal proceedings when there's a pending investigation or criminal complaint related to fraudulent title transfers. It creates a rebuttable presumption that a deed transfer was fraudulent when someone is convicted of deed theft or related crimes, and allows law enforcement to file motions to void fraudulent instruments affecting property. The bill affects residential property owners, tenants, and legal proceedings involving title disputes, particularly when fraud is alleged. Courts must hold regular status conferences to review these stays and ensure investigations continue in good faith.
