Summary

The bill requires that any deed for a property not previously described in a recorded instrument include a survey prepared by a licensed land surveyor, and that the deed itself be drafted by a Tennessee‑licensed attorney. It also adds rules for title‑insurance companies, splits title‑insurance premiums between buyer and seller, and forces out‑of‑state buyers to name a Tennessee agent for legal notices. These changes aim to improve accuracy, accountability, and consumer protection in real‑property deals.
