Chamber Passed·3/19/26

Kentucky HB780 amends the recording requirements for deeds, mortgages, and other instruments.

Kentucky HB780 modifies the recording requirements for deeds, mortgages, and other instruments to ensure they are effectual against purchasers without notice or creditors. It mandates that all such documents be recorded in the county clerk's office of the county where the property is located. The bill also specifies that no county clerk shall accept a deed for record unless it complies with the provisions of the section. Additionally, it allows for the filing of certified copies of documents as though they were the original records, provided they conform to statutory requirements.
