SB 318

Under current law, a person may obtain evidence that certain property

interests of a decedent have been terminated by providing information to the register

of deeds of the county in which the property is located. To obtain such evidence under

current law, a person must submit to the register of deeds a certified copy of the

decedent's death record. This bill eliminates the requirement to submit a certified

copy of the decedent's death record to the register of deeds. Instead, this bill requires

the person seeking to obtain the evidence of the termination of the decedent's

property interest to verify, under oath, the correctness of the information provided

to the register of deeds, which includes the date of the decedent's death.
