Bill > S979

This bill, the Landowner's Title Protection Act, aims to provide landowners with title protection in Massachusetts. It establishes a "good and clear record and marketable title" if a person has an unbroken chain of title to their land for at least 50 years (or 75 years if there have been no title transactions in the last 50 years). The bill outlines various exceptions and limitations to this title protection, such as existing easements, government interests, and adverse possession rights. The bill also extends the sufficiency period to January 1, 2023 for any titles that would have expired before then, and states that the act applies to both future and past instruments.
