Bill would confirm Marlborough land transfer and authorize deed recording

The bill would treat the 1958 transfer as valid and direct the registry to record a deed confirming it. This covers about 1,000 square feet in Marlborough that the Commonwealth transferred to Pierina Monti on May 22, 1958. The registry would accept the deed and supporting papers despite laws or rules that would otherwise prevent recording. The transfer would count as valid from May 22, 1958. The confirming deed would take effect from that date once recorded.

Once the deed is recorded, the parcel’s title would be treated as having passed to the current owner through later transfers. This covers the parcel transferred to Pierina Monti and later passed to the current owner of record. The Commonwealth could not make claims based on the missing 1958 deed. The act would serve as conclusive proof of the transfer and cure title problems caused by the failure to record the original deed. This treatment of title applies once the confirming deed is recorded.
