Explain the concept of marketable title


The law of conveyancing has firmly established that a contract for the sale of land carries with it an implied obligation on the part of the seller to transfer marketable title. Marketable title means that the title is free from: (a) encumbrances such as mortgages, easements, liens, leases, and restrictive covenants; (b) defects in the chain of title appearing in the land records; and (c) any other defects that deprive the seller of title, such as adverse possession or eminent domain.
