HB 332 Power of attorney; removal of social security numbers from instrument.

Introduced by: Albert C. Pollard, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Recordation of instruments; social security numbers. Provides that where the circuit court clerks have the power to decline to accept any instrument submitted for recordation that includes a grantor's, grantee's or trustee's social security number, the attorney or party who submits the instrument has responsibility for ensuring that the number is removed from the instrument before it is submitted for recordation.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Recordation of power of attorney; social security numbers. Provides that the circuit court clerks must accept powers of attorney containing social security numbers for recordation if the person offering the power of attorney authorizes the clerk to cover or conceal temporarily the social security number while the power of attorney is being recorded. This approach accommodates both concerns regarding identity theft and situations where a principal cannot execute a new power of attorney, and an existing power of attorney, containing a social security number, must be recorded.
