From the Desk of Joyce Oles – Dearborn County Recorder
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2020
Senate Enrolled Act 340 (SEA340) made a one-word change to Indiana Code 32-21-2-3(a)[replacing the word "or" with the word "and"]. This change can be read as requiring a deed, mortgage or other real estate instrument (any instrument that requires a signature per Indiana Code) to include both the signer's notarized acknowledgement and a common law proof by a witness.
Please follow the advice of your underwriter and/or attorney on how to comply with this new legislation.
We are open to the public. Per Dearborn County Government, masks are still required.
