  Dear Subscriber:

  Thank you for choosing to keep your copy of Crocker's Notes on Common Forms current with this eleventh edition. Inside you will find new material on a spectrum of topics, including those as follows:

  • Deeds. See chapter 3 for case law on the topics of delivery and acceptance of deeds.

  • Defective instruments. See chapter 4 for discussion of a case that addresses what has been described as "a statute of repose to protect the chain of title to real property from attenuated challenges."

  • Clearing title regarding foreclosed property. See chapter 5 for discussion of a limitation period for challenging a foreclosure sale if the property has been sold to an open "arm's-length third-party purchaser for value."

  • Transitional and medical assistance liens. See chapter 16 for discussion of judicial proceedings to have a lien imposed on the property of any living individual on whose behalf Medicaid (commonly known as MassHealth) payments are incorrectly paid.

  • Tax title. In chapter 30, find a 2020 decision wherein the Supreme Judicial Court held that a tax title purchaser could not include real estate taxes it paid after purchasing the tax title account in the calculation of a redemption amount.

  We at MCLE trust that you will find this material useful in your practice and valuable in maintaining your real estate law library.

  Cordially,

  Maryanne G. Jensen, Esq., MCLE Director of Publications
