Chap. 498.—An ACT to quiet titles to real estate in the common-
wealth.
Approved February 29, 1892.
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That in all cases where a husband and his wife have
signed a writing purporting to convey any real estate, and
such writing has been admitted to record in the proper
clerk’s office upon a certificate of acknowledgment, taken
by an authorized officer, which was defective or imperfect
under the lawsof Virginia then in force, and the purchase
money has been paid by the purchaser, and the grantee
has remained in quiet and undisturbed possession of the
said real estate under the said writing for ten years after
the date of its recordation, the said writing shatl operate
to convey from the wife her right of dower in the real
estate embraced therein, and pass from her and her rep-
resentatives all right, title and interest of every nature
(purporting to be conveyed by the said writing), which,
at the date of such writing, she may have had in any real
estate conveyed thereby, as effectually as if such writing
had been acknowledged, certified and admitted to record
in strict conformity with the laws then in force: provided,
however, that any person interested may, within two
years after the passage of this act, or the expiration of
the ten years aforesaid, institute proceedings to impeach
such writing and have the validity thereof and the rights
of all persons determined according to the lawa in force
at the date of such acknowledgment and recordation; and
any married woman or other person interested, whether a
resident or non-resident of Virginia, may in her own
name or by a next friend, institute such proceedings
within the period hereinbefore named, but not thereafter.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage, and all
acts are hereby repealed so far as they are in conflict
with this act.
