Expands available protections against fraudulent recording of quitclaim deed.
This bill allows property owners to request notification before a quitclaim deed is recorded on their property. If requested, county recording offices must notify the owner within 10-12 business days of a deed submission and delay recording for that period. Owners can provide preferred contact details (mail/email) and will pay a fee to cover administrative costs. The law directly affects property owners seeking to prevent fraudulent transfers and county recording offices handling deed records. It amends existing laws to require this notification process for quitclaim deeds, which often lack title guarantees.
