Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Any person having the legal capacity to own land in this state,
who has an unbroken chain of title of record to any interest in land
for thirty (30) years or more, shall be deemed to have a marketable
record title to such interest as defined in Section 78 of this
title, subject only to the matters stated in Section 72 of this
title.  A person shall be deemed to have such an unbroken chain of
title when the official public records disclose a conveyance or
other title transaction, of record not less than thirty (30) years
at the time the marketability is to be determined, which said
conveyance or other title transaction purports to create such
interest, either in
(a) the person claiming such interest, or
(b) some other person from whom, by one or more conveyances or
other title transactions of record, such purported interest has
become vested in the person claiming such interest; with nothing
appearing of record, in either case, purporting to divest such
claimant of such purported interest.
