This bill creates new rules in Kentucky law defining what makes a property's ownership history legally clear and sellable. It sets out how an unbroken chain of title is established, which older claims or interests can still affect a property, and how a person can take steps to preserve their interest in land. These rules are meant to help resolve disputes and provide clearer standards when buying, selling, or transferring real estate. Who it may affect: property owners, homebuyers, real estate attorneys, and anyone with a recorded interest in Kentucky land.
