Bill > S893

This bill aims to provide landowners with title protection in Massachusetts. It establishes the "Landowner's Title Protection Act," which defines key terms like "deed," "land," and "title transaction." The bill states that any person with an unbroken chain of title to their land for at least 50 years (or 75 years if there has been no title transaction in the last 50 years) shall be deemed to have a "good and clear record and marketable title," subject to certain exceptions outlined in the bill. The bill also includes provisions for extending the sufficiency period in some cases, and it specifies that the act should be interpreted liberally to simplify and facilitate land title transactions.
