Sec. 52-12. Jurisdiction over the sale of certain real property. Protection of
unrepresented interests. Orders and decrees to be recorded. (a) The Superior Court
shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters relating to the sale of real property in
which the General Assembly before June 1, 1886, exercised jurisdiction when, by reason
of the condition of the parties in interest or the limitations of any will or deed, no person
or persons have power to convey a legal title to the real property. The court may make
all lawful orders or decrees necessary to the full exercise of such jurisdiction.
(c) All such orders and decrees shall be recorded in the land records of the town in which any real property affected thereby is situated. A certificate signed by the town clerk that the town record has been made shall be returned to the Superior Court and become a part of the record in the action.
