Attorney General Clarifies Quit Claim Deed Reconveyance
Pierre South Dakota April 15. The attorney general advised that a person who takes a quit claim deed from a former landowner cannot be reconveyed by the county upon payment of back taxes. County commissioners may reconvey only to the record owner at the time of taking tax deed. A 1943 law permits restoring title to fences but not effective until July 1. The AG also ruled that serving nonresident notices blocks residence establishment for relief, and a second notice within 12 months bars residence for another year.
