Provision
§ 151Items covered by deedProvision

An owner of real estate with a right of entry may convey the land or all of their interest by deed; down trees on the land pass with the deed unless they have been cut into wood, logs, lumber, or peeled hemlock bark, which remain personal property and may be removed within a reasonable time.

A person owning real estate and having a right of entry into it, whether seized of it or not, may convey it or all his interest in it, by a deed to be acknowledged and recorded as provided in this chapter. Down trees lying on land at the time of conveyance are real estate and pass by the deed; but such down trees as are cut into wood, logs or other lumber and hemlock bark peeled are personal property, and the owner may remove them in a reasonable time thereafter. [PL 1983, c. 433 (AMD).]
