New Jersey S2830 establishes protections against deed theft by allowing stays of proceedings and voiding fraudulent instruments.

New Jersey S2830 implements protections against deed theft by allowing government entities to request stays of proceedings to recover possession or quiet title to real property when there is a pending good faith investigation into theft or fraud. The court must issue a stay if the investigation is ongoing. The bill also mandates that a conviction for a crime affecting real property creates a rebuttable presumption that the deed transfer was fraudulent.
