Establishing a three month time limit for a purchaser of real property to have a deed recorded.
HB 3428 requires any purchaser of real property in West Virginia to record their deed with the county clerk within three months of closing the property transaction. This rule directly affects homebuyers and property purchasers who must complete this recording step within the specified timeframe. The bill amends existing law to add this deadline to the process of recording deeds, ensuring deeds are officially documented promptly after a sale. It does not change other requirements for deeds to be recorded, such as proper acknowledgment or proof.
