LINDOUIST & VENNUM TITLE OPINION City of Orono September 7, 1982 Page 2 dated August 8, 1960, filed September 20, 1960. This blanket easement may render title unmarketable; if the electric transmission line has been constructed, its location should be defined by a centerline description and a release of all the easement except for the center- line description should be granted to you by Northern States Power Company. 4. It cannot be determined from the way this Abstract has been prepared whether or not the subject premises lie entirely within the la:: described at Entry No. 1 and subsequent abstract entries, including Entry No. 44. Both Entry No. 1 and Entry No. 52 (to which the abstract is later certified) commence at the center of Section 3. From there Entry No. 1 first runs west and then north, while Entry No. 52 runs north and then west. Due to the fact sections are not square, it is not possible to determine from the different descriptions if the land at Entry No. 52 is entirely within the description of the land at Entry No. 1. I have returned the subject abstract to the abstractor to see if he can make such a certification. If he can, then this is not a problem. If he cannot, then we will have to determine what in fact the problem is. 5. A possible overlap of legal descriptions shown in the Mortgage at Book 1795 of Mortgages, page 187, Document No. 1662480, filed October 26, 1931 (Entry No. 58) and by the Quit Claim Deed at Book 1753 of Deeds, page 288, Document No. 2454134, filed August 5, 1947 (Entry No. 76). It appears that the description at Entry No. 58 overlaps the subject premises by as much as 15 feet and at Untry No. 76 overlaps the property by something less than 15 feet. If there is an overlap, and its existence can only be confirmed by a survey, then the correction of the overlap problem can be effectuated by either exchanging deeds with the landowners whose land overlaps, or by redescribing the subject premises to a smaller size so that there is no such overlap. 6. Title is also subject to the following standard title exceptions which should be reviewed carefully in regard to the real estate described in the foregoing opinion: a. Rights of Persons in Possession. It is not always necessary for persons in actual possession of real estate to file a record of their interest in the property to retain such interest. A prospective purchaser or mortgagee must inquire concerning the rights, if any, of all parties in possession other
