Dear Subscriber:
Thank you for choosing to keep your copy of Crocker's Notes on Common Forms current with this twelfth edition. Updates for 2022 include the following topics, and more:
- Survivorship rights of tenants in common. See chapter 2 for a 2022 decision that involves a pending partition proceeding involving two parcels of adjoining land held by joint tenants, where one owner died, resulting in their estate seeking to enforce the performance of a then-pending purchase-and-sale agreement to a third party.
- Keeping building insured. See chapter 5 for a note regarding G.L. c. 175, s. 99's standard form of policy, to the effect that "[t]he insurer cannot limit coverage to a scope narrower than what the Legislature envisioned."
- Termination of tenancy at will. See chapter 15 for a 2022 case supporting—but not expressly deciding—that summary process is the exclusive avenue to remove the holdover guest residing in the premises for the previous eight years.
- Condominium and timeshare liens. See chapter 16 for a cite to a 2022 case that discusses whether nonjudicial collection actions and protecting security interests by owner's association lawyers are governed by or violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Title insurance. See chapter 19 for a cite to a First Circuit case that addresses the value of a real estate development right lost by failure to satisfy statutory time restrictions.
We at MCLE trust that you will find this material useful in your practice and valuable in your real estate law library.
Cordially,
Maryanne G. Jensen, Esq., MCLE Director of Publications
