Title

Relating to judges of probate; to amend Section 35-2-57, Code of Alabama 1975, to specify the method for a judge of probate to record that an electronic map or a plat has been vacated.

Description

Under existing law, once a judge of probate vacates a map or plat, he or she is required to write "vacated" on the tangible map or plat and refer to it in the records where the map or plat was recorded. For counties where maps or plats are recorded in electronic form, there is no specified method for recording that a map or plat has been vacated.

This bill would provide that once a judge of probate vacates a map or plat that is recorded in electronic form, he or she shall issue a certificate indicating that the map or plat has been vacated, and the certificate shall be made a part of the property records to which it pertains.
