Such marketable record title shall be subject to:

(a) All interests and defects which are inherent in the

muniments of which such chain of record title is formed; provided,

however, that a general reference in such muniments, or any of them,

to interests created prior to the root of title shall not be

sufficient to preserve them, unless specific identification be made

therein of a recorded title transaction which creates such interest.

by possession by the same owner continuously for a period of thirty

possession or user, which was in whole or in part subsequent to the

(d) Any interest relating to a title transaction which has been

recorded subsequent to the effective date of the root of title from

which the unbroken chain of title of record is started; provided,

however, that such recording shall not revive or give validity to

any interest which has been extinguished prior to the time of the

recording by the operation of Section 73 of this title.

rights of reversioners in leases, as to severed mineral or royalty
