Summary

This bill requires that a description of real property in a deed of conveyance for a property not previously described in a recorded instrument be prepared by a registered land surveyor, or by a licensed attorney using a survey prepared by a registered land surveyor. This affects banks, lenders, servicers, and other entities involved in property conveyances, who must ensure deed descriptions comply with the new survey requirements.
