A2072

Enhances protections against fraudulent deed recordings in New Jersey.

This bill enhances protections against fraudulent deed recordings in New Jersey by requiring county recording officers to notify transferors when a deed transfer is being recorded for their property. To facilitate this requirement, the bill directs the recording officer to accept and retain a submission from a property owner of their preferred mailing address or email address, or both. The bill also requires the person recording the deed to submit an affidavit of title as a prerequisite to the actual deed recording.
