That any and all liens, encumbrances or money claims for improvements on lands, authorized or permitted in ejectment actions or equitable proceedings for the recovery of lands under reversionary provisions contained in deeds to reality [realty], whether heretofore or hereafter claimed, may be waived by instrument in writing executed either before or after the passage and approval of this act [this section]; provided, further, that in no event shall any such liens, encumbrances or claims be asserted by the grantee, his heirs or assigns, as against his grantor, his heirs or assigns, who becomes entitled to possession of such lands under the terms of the reversionary clauses contained in any such deed to realty.

Terms Used In New Mexico Statutes 42-4-20

  • 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
  • Grantor: The person who establishes a trust and places property into it.
