to Judiciary (S)
Summary
The bill changes Kentucky’s recording rules so that any deed, mortgage or similar instrument must include a clear reference to the grantor’s source of title, especially for interests of a life estate or larger. It also creates strict timelines for filing deeds in lieu of foreclosure and for deeds transferred by a court commissioner, with penalties for non‑compliance. These changes aim to improve title clarity and ensure timely recording of important property documents.
