Real Property - Deeds - Recordation Requirements

HB 1601 requires that deeds for residential property transactions include the name of the title insurance company and the policy number when title insurance was obtained for the sale. This applies directly to home buyers, sellers, and title insurers during the property transfer process. The bill amends Maryland law to add this specific detail as a mandatory requirement for deeds presented to county recorders. The change takes effect October 1, 2026, aiming to improve transparency in residential property records.
