Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 765 ILCS 45/10
- Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Mortgage: The written agreement pledging property to a creditor as collateral for a loan.
- Statute: A law passed by a legislature.
In case of such destruction of records, as aforesaid, the circuit court in the county shall have power to inquire into the condition of any title to or interest in any land in such county, and to make all such orders and judgments as may be necessary to determine and establish such title or interest, legal or equitable, against all persons known or unknown, and all liens existing on such land, whether by statute, judgment, mortgage, deed of trust or otherwise.
