46. Sheriff’s Deeds

(May 1, 2000)

Sheriff’s Deeds are “notation” deeds, that is, they are to be noted on the current certificate of title, and no certificate may issue thereon except by an Order of Court. G.L. c. 185, § 85. A petition to the Court is required. In cases where the grantee conveys back to the equity owner within the one year redemption period, the equity owner is free to convey under the existing certificate.
