Catch Title:
Marketable
title act-conservation easements.

Subject:
Marketable title act applicability to
conservation easements.

Summary/Major Elements:

The marketable title act was
enacted in 1975 to facilitate land title transactions by allowing persons to
rely on a record chain of title by clearing the title of interests not of record
for a specified period. There are currently some exceptions to the marketable
title act.

This act provides that the
marketable title act shall not be applied to bar or extinguish any claim to a
conservation easement, but specifies that the provisions of the uniform
conservation easement act (which allows nonpossessory interests of unlimited
duration) shall be applicable.
