HB2409 is a bill that amends current Arizona law regarding the acknowledgment of deeds and conveyances of real property. The bill requires that any deed or conveyance recorded must be acknowledged in person before a notary public, effectively prohibiting the use of communication technology for this purpose. This is a change from the current law, which allows a remotely located individual to use communication technology to appear before a notary public for the acknowledgment of such documents. The bill also makes a conforming change to ensure that this requirement is specifically for deeds or conveyances of real estate, while other notarial acts may still use communication technology as per existing statutes.
