This article shall be liberally construed to effect its purpose, which is to create a procedure by which it may be established that certain named persons have a marketable title to all of the estate in fee simple of lands defined by a judgment entered in such an action, so that there shall be no occasion for lands in this state being kept out of the market because of uncertainty as to who the owner of every interest therein may be.
