Conveyance is by grant deed or by bargain-and-sale deed. Deeds must show the name of the preparer, the amount of the total transaction, and the recording reference by which the grantor obtained title.

Enforcement of any security instrument requires a decree in equity, a judicial foreclosure proceeding.
Kentucky uses ALTA policies and endorsements.
