Section 85. When the time has expired for redemption after registered land has been set off or sold on execution, or taken or sold for the enforcement of a lien of any description, the person claiming under an execution or a deed or other instrument made in the course of proceedings to levy such execution or enforce any lien may petition for the entry of a new certificate to him, which may be granted. Every such new certificate shall contain a memorandum of the nature of the proceeding on which it is based. Before the entry of a new certificate, the registered owner may pursue all legal and equitable remedies to impeach or annul proceedings under executions or to enforce liens of any description.
Terms Used In Massachusetts General Laws ch. 185 sec. 85
- 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
- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
