MS SB2423

Requires subdivision plats presented for recording to include signed and acknowledged statements from record owners, lienholders, and an attorney certifying title examination back to the original land patent.

Establishes that recorded plats become conclusive evidence of ownership and freedom from encumbrances (except those shown on plat or in affidavits filed within 90 days) if a lot has been conveyed after recording, the plat has been of record for over 10 years, and the plat has not been vacated.

Deems plats ratified as of their recording date despite appearing insufficient in certificates, approvals, acknowledgments, ordinance compliance, or signatures if the conclusiveness requirements are met.

Establishes a 10-year statute of limitations from the plat recording date for any action challenging rights, title, interests, or liens adverse to the recorded plat for plats recorded on or after July 1, 2020.

Requires written statements acknowledging claims against pre-July 1, 2020 plats to be filed by July 1, 2030, with definitive property description and factual basis for the claim.
