Fraudulent Deed Amendments

Maddy summaryHB 108 amends Utah’s Fraudulent Deeds Act by clarifying that "deed" does not include governing documents (like homeowners association rules) or reinvestment fee covenants recorded under specific laws. This change directly affects property owners, HOAs, and county recorders by preventing these common documents from being mistakenly classified as deeds under fraudulent deed laws. The bill’s key provision narrows the legal definition of "deed" to exclude these items, reducing potential confusion in property transactions. It takes effect on May 7, 2025, with no new funding or procedural changes required.
