FAQ
What Are My Rights as a Condo Owner? As a condo owner, you have the right to use your unit as provided in the master deed – if it's a residential inium unit – in a way that allows you to maintain a reasonable standard of living as required by Massachusetts health, safety and building laws.
Ownership of a inium unit is evidenced by a inium certificate of title. With respect to real property other than land and inium units, there is no system that is equivalent to the Torrens system for registration under which a document is issued to evidence the owner's title.
The master deed is one of the documents that transfer property to be owned by the inium. It includes a description of the land and buildings, a description of what is the common area and what the individual owners own, a determination of percentage interest, a plot plan, and use restrictions.
Essentially a quitclaim deed provides the same protections as a warranty deed, except it limits how far back in time the grantor is liable for any problems resulting from the title.
Your will can only give away assets that are entirely yours, so if you own partial interest in the land—for example, as a tenant in common with siblings—then you can only give away your share of the ownership. As previously noted, a will cannot override the ownership of the land as stated on your deed.
In Massachusetts, there are primarily three types of deeds that are used in all transactions: Release Deeds, Quitclaim Deeds, and Warranty Deeds. The vast majority of property in Massachusetts is transferred via a quitclaim deed.
Inium is a Latin word that means "Owning property together." That's what it is like when someone buys a condo unit. They have an "interest" in the land beneath the building, but the building's association owns the actual land.
What is perpetual ownership? Perpetual ownership means that you have every right a inium unit owner is entitled to as provided in the inium Act, granting you full ownership rights to your unit and a proportionate share of ownership to all common areas of the building and the land itself.
