PROBLEM:
Should the State of Maine as grantee be run for any period when the locus is in unorganized territory?
RECOMMENDATION:
No, unless there is notice of a tax levy by the State.
DISCUSSION:
The grantor index in many instances would not disclose levies by the State of Maine where such levies have been against named parcels of land without reference to the purported record owner. Nevertheless, the time, effort, and expense of examining the grantee index appears to outweigh the risk involved.
First adopted August 25, 1960; amended December 7, 1983. Formerly Title Standard No. 8.
