A 1846 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands available protections against fraudulent recording of quitclaim deed.

This bill requires county recording offices to notify property owners if a quitclaim deed is submitted for recording on their property, giving owners a 10-12 business day window to review the transaction before it's recorded. Property owners can proactively request this notification by providing contact details (mail or email) to the county office. The bill mandates that recording officers delay finalizing the deed for at least 10 business days after sending the notification, aiming to prevent fraudulent transfers. It directly affects property owners and county recording officers, adding a verification step specifically for quitclaim deeds.
