BOARD/COMMISSION:  Advisory Task Force On Uniform Conveyancing Forms

While there are no specific eligibility requirements in the statute, public members need some knowledge or familiarity with real estate title transfer transactions in Minnesota, including filing and recording of tile transfer forms, drafting real estate forms, litigation of property transfers or other related skills and experience with real estate title transfers. 

The several forms of deeds, mortgages, land contracts, assignments, satisfactions, and other conveyancing instruments prepared by the Uniform Conveyancing Blanks Commission and filed by the commission with the secretary of state pursuant to Laws 1929, chapter 135, as amended by Laws 1931, chapter 34, are approved and recommended for use in the state. Such forms shall be kept on file with and be preserved by the commissioner of commerce as a public record. The commissioner of commerce may appoint an advisory task force on uniform conveyancing forms to recommend to the commissioner of commerce amendments to existing forms or the adoption of new forms. The task force shall expire, and the terms, compensation, and removal of members shall be as provided in section 15.059. The commissioner of commerce may adopt amended or new forms consistent with the laws of this state by order.
