Summary
If enacted, this bill would expand the right to recover attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses in legal actions arising out of real property instruments beyond mortgages to include other real estate contracts such as deeds, leases, and easements. This could shift litigation dynamics, making parties more likely to include fee-shifting provisions in a broader range of property documents.
