Bill Summary
Relative to titles to real property affected by technical irregularities in recorded instruments. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to address technical irregularities in recorded real estate instruments, such as defects in seals, grantor clauses, acknowledgments, or authority of signatories. The bill proposes that if such an instrument has been recorded for at least 10 years without a legal challenge, it shall be deemed effective, even if it does not strictly comply with all legal requirements. This change would provide stability and clarity to land titles affected by these types of technical issues in recorded documents. The bill would apply retroactively to instruments recorded before, on, or after January 1, 2020, except for those already subject to an ongoing legal proceeding.
