BY an amendment TO the general tax
law. which was passed at the recent
session OF the legislature and goes into
effect August 80, no tax history will be
required after that date for any quit
claim deed to be recorded by the regis
ter of deeds. The old law required a
tax history with every conveyance of
real estate before the deed could be
recorded, but the amendment accepts
'.quit claim deeds or other conyeyances
containing no covenant of warranty y
The amendment mentioned changes
this, so that after August 80 the quit
claim deeds can be recorded without
furnishing tax histories.
