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

This bill was filed on behalf of the Mass Land Title Association and would set a 10-year period after which technical defects in real estate documents are deemed cured. Currently, technical defects need to be cured by going to land court, which can take months and can derail pending real estate transactions — primarily affecting titles for 1 to 4 family homes. This bill provides Massachusetts with an additional resource to increase our housing stock and allow more residents to own property.
