 §772. Words of inheritance; habendum 1.  Words of inheritance; habendum.  In a conveyance or reservation of real estate, the terms "heirs," "successors," "assigns," "forever" or other technical words of inheritance, or an habendum clause, are not necessary to convey or reserve an estate in fee. A conveyance or reservation of real estate, whether made before or after the effective date of this section, must be construed to convey or reserve an estate in fee simple, unless a different intention is clearly expressed in the instrument by a statement that the interest conveyed or reserved is an interest other than an estate in fee, by a limiting of the duration of the interest to a period less than perpetual duration or by an explicit restriction of the interest to the use and benefit only of the person or persons to whom it is conveyed or reserved. The omission of technical words of inheritance may not be construed to evidence an intention to convey or reserve an interest other than an estate in fee simple, even if such words are used elsewhere in the same instrument.   [PL 2013, c. 90, §1 (AMD).] 2.  Preservation of rights.  A person claiming an interest in real estate by reason of the omission of technical words of inheritance or the lack of an habendum clause in a deed that conveyed or reserved a property interest before October 7, 1967 may preserve that claim by commencing a civil action for the recovery of that property in the Superior Court or the District Court in the county or division in which the property is located on or before December 31, 2002.   [PL 1999, c. 69, §1 (NEW).] 3.  Limitation.  After December 31, 2002, a person may not commence a civil action for the recovery of property or enter that property under a claim of right based on the absence of an habendum clause or technical words of inheritance in any deed.   [PL 1999, c. 69, §1 (NEW).] 4.  Construction of laws.  This section may not be construed to extend the period for bringing of an action or for the doing of any other required act under any statute of limitations.   [PL 1999, c. 69, §1 (NEW).] 5.  Liberal construction.  This section must be liberally construed to effect the legislative purpose of clarifying title to land currently encumbered by ancient deeds that lacked technical words of inheritance or an habendum clause.   [PL 1999, c. 69, §1 (NEW).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1967, c. 377 (NEW).

This subsection applies to a deed or other instrument even if the joining spouse is not set forth in the beginning of the deed as a grantor to the conveyance.   This subsection does not apply to a deed dated before the effective date of this subsection that contains language in the testimonium clause as described in this subsection until November 1, 2000, at which time this subsection applies unless notice of a claim of right, title or interest is recorded in the registry of deeds for the county in which the land is located and an action is commenced on or before November 1, 2000 in any court with jurisdiction to adjudicate this action.   [PL 1999, c. 343, §1 (NEW).] 2.  Filing of notice.  In order for the notice specified in subsection 1 to be effective, it must contain an adequate description of the property in which the right, title or interest is claimed; a reference to the deed or other instrument on which the claim is based; the name of the current record owner of the property; and must be duly verified by oath taken by any person authorized to perform notarial acts. The register of deeds for the county in which the land is located shall accept all such notices presented that describe property located in the county and shall enter and record them in the same manner that deeds and other instruments are recorded and may charge the same fee for the recording of these notices as is charged for recording deeds. In indexing the notice, the register of deeds shall enter it in the grantee index of deeds under the name of the claimant appearing in the notice and in the grantor index of deeds under the name of the record owner appearing in the notice. Within a reasonable time after recording the notice, the register of deeds shall enter upon the margin of the record of the deed or other instrument on which the claim is based the volume and page in which the record of the notice may be found. The person filing the notice shall deliver or mail a copy of the notice to the current record owner of the property at the last known address of that owner.   [PL 1999, c. 343, §1 (NEW).] 3.  Persons under disability; time limits not extended.  Disability or lack of knowledge of any kind does not extend the time limits provided in this section.   [PL 1999, c. 343, §1 (NEW).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1981, c. 367, §2 (NEW).
