An Act relative to uniform real property electronic recordings

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow real estate documents to be recorded electronically, affecting land registrars, title companies, and property owners. It establishes that electronic documents and digital signatures are legally equivalent to paper documents and wet signatures, including for notarization and witnessing. Registrars will be authorized to accept, store, and search electronic records while continuing to process paper filings, and the Secretary of State will set technical standards to ensure compatibility with other states.
