This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding the conveyance of real property. Under the new provisions, every deed or conveyance must not only be signed by the grantor but also by the grantee or the grantee's authorized agent. Additionally, a deed or conveyance will not be accepted for recording unless the grantee's acceptance is evidenced by their signature or a separate certificate or resolution of acceptance attached to the deed. The bill also specifies that deeds submitted for recording by licensed title insurers, title insurance agents, or escrow agents are exempt from these new signature requirements.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a formal structure for the certificate or resolution of acceptance, which must include a statement certifying the acceptance of the property interest and the consent to record the deed. It clarifies that any defects in the acknowledgment of a deed recorded in the county recorder's office will still be considered duly acknowledged. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the formal requirements for real property conveyances while providing exemptions for certain professionals in the field.
