AI Summary
This bill aims to further clear titles to real property affected by technical irregularities in recorded instruments. It amends Chapter 184 of the General Laws to provide that, even if an instrument conveying or affecting an interest in real property contains certain defects, irregularities, or omissions, such as issues with seals, form of grantor clause, acknowledgments, or authority of signatories, the instrument and its record shall be effective for all purposes if the instrument was recorded or registered more than 10 years ago, unless a proceeding is commenced within that 10-year period to challenge the defect. The provisions of the bill apply to instruments recorded or registered before, on, or after January 1, 2020, except for those already subject to a court proceeding challenging their effectiveness or validity.
