New Hampshire studies deed fraud protections
Effective upon passage, the law creates a committee to study property fraud and title theft involving quitclaim deeds. It has three House members appointed by the House speaker and one senator appointed by the Senate president. Members get mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate for travel on committee duties. The committee reviews deed definitions and uses, fraud methods and weaknesses, and legal and procedural changes in other states. It must seek input from public and private sources, including legal experts, deed officials, real estate groups, law enforcement, and victims. It must list New Hampshire’s options, including each option’s pros, cons, and possible costs. Members elect a chair, meet within 45 days of the law’s effective date, and need a majority for a quorum. Findings and any recommendations for legislation are due by November 1, 2026. The report goes to House and Senate leaders and clerks, the governor, and the state library.
