Expands available protections against fraudulent recording of quitclaim deed.
This bill (S 1611) requires county recording offices to notify property owners before recording a quitclaim deed on their property if the owner has requested it. Property owners can submit preferred contact details (mailing or email) to receive notification, after which the recording must be delayed for 10-12 business days. The bill also adds new requirements for deeds, such as stating true consideration for transfers, labeling new construction, and including exemption affidavits. It directly affects property owners seeking to prevent unauthorized deed changes and county recording officers managing these processes.
