Bill > SB2353

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 66-24-101, which governs what types of writings can be officially recorded, or "registered," in Tennessee. Specifically, it clarifies that agreements related to the conveyance of real property, along with any associated notices, affidavits, memoranda, or abstracts (which are summaries or official records), can be registered if they are authenticated, meaning their signatures are verified according to a specific legal process outlined in § 66-22-101, and if they clearly state an expiration date for the agreement, including the day, month, and year. Additionally, the bill mandates that any affidavits presented for registration must be sworn to before a notary public and include specific language confirming this oath. This change aims to ensure that documents registered for property transactions are properly authenticated and have defined end dates, providing greater clarity and security in real estate dealings.
