recorded instruments; owner notice; delay

HB 2831 requires Arizona recorders to delay recording property sale documents for five business days after receipt. It mandates that recorders send notice to the identified seller of the property, and if the seller requests in writing that the document not be recorded, the recorder must comply. The bill directly affects sellers in real estate transactions by giving them a temporary pause in the recording process. This applies only to instruments related to the sale of real property, not other types of property transfers.
