An Act validating a conveyance of land and authorizing the recording of a confirmatory deed in the city of Marlborough
This bill validates a 1958 land transfer from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to Pierina Monti in Marlborough and allows the property to be officially recorded. It confirms that the original conveyance was legally effective despite missing paperwork or recording issues, granting the current owner clear title free of state claims. The legislation authorizes the local registry of deeds to accept and record a confirmatory deed that fixes the legal chain of title back to the original 1958 date. This action resolves title defects for the specific parcel without affecting other properties or individuals.
