Expands available protections against fraudulent recording of quitclaim deed.
This bill allows property owners in New Jersey to request notification when a quitclaim deed is submitted for their property. If an owner provides preferred contact information (mail or email), the county recording office must notify them before recording the deed and wait 10-12 business days after notification before finalizing the recording. The county may charge a fee to cover administrative costs for this service. It directly affects property owners concerned about fraudulent transfers and county recording offices handling deed records. The law amends existing recording requirements to add this notification process for quitclaim deeds, which transfer property ownership without guarantees about the property's title.
