Abstract: Eliminates the requirement that birth dates of parties be included on any act or
document which evidences a privilege and is filed for recordation, and requires
specific information on all acts of conveyance.
Present law requires all parties' birth dates on documents or acts evidencing a privilege that
are filed for recordation.
Proposed law eliminates this requirement.
Present law requires that an act of sale of immovable property or attachment thereto filed for
registry in the office of the parish recorder designate the name of the person responsible for
all property taxes and assessments and include the address where property tax and
assessment notices are to be mailed.
Proposed law maintains present law but expands the requirements to any act of conveyance.
