Bill > HB0211

This bill amends Utah law regarding the recording of real property documents, primarily by clarifying requirements for notarization and acknowledgment. Specifically, it modifies the conditions under which a document can be recorded without notarization, allowing for exceptions if the document is from the Lieutenant Governor's office with the Great Seal affixed, or if it was executed before July 1, 1988, when issued by the state or a political subdivision. The bill also makes minor technical changes to definitions, such as clarifying what constitutes a "certified copy" and updating language related to "stigmatized" property. These changes aim to streamline the recording process while ensuring proper documentation and legal validity for real estate transactions.
