An Act to further clear titles to real property affected by technical irregularities in recorded instruments

This legislation would expand the provisions of MGL ch.184 s.24 to cure defects in property titles from common technical drafting and execution problems. The expansion of the type of entities that hold title to properties has led to many more drafting and technical errors in relevant documents, including deeds and mortgages. As a result, owners are forced to reconcile these defects through land court, which is difficult and time consuming. The language would statutorily cure many of the most common types of technical, non-substantive errors.
