Maryland SB760 revises recordation and indexing procedures for real property documents.

Maryland SB760 amends the recordation and indexing procedures for real property documents. It mandates that the clerk of the circuit court maintain a general alphabetical index of deeds and other instruments, including names of grantors and grantees, and the book and page of recordation. The bill also allows certified copies of documents from other jurisdictions to be recorded if they meet specific certification requirements. Additionally, it outlines formatting requirements for documents offered for recordation, such as type size and paper quality, and specifies penalties for non-compliance.
