(735 ILCS 5/13-121) (from Ch. 110, par. 13-121)
Sec. 13-121.
Construction.
Sections 13-118 through 13-121 of this
Act shall be liberally construed to effect the legislative
purpose of simplifying and facilitating land title transactions by
allowing persons to rely on a record chain of title as described in
Section 13-118 of this Act, subject to such limitations as appear in Section
13-120 of this Act. The claims extinguished by Sections 13-118 through 13-121
of this Act include any and all
interests of any nature whatsoever, however denominated, whether vested
or contingent, whether present or future, whether such claims are
asserted by a person sui juris or under disability or might be asserted
by a person not yet in being, whether such person be within or without
the State, and whether such person be natural or corporate, or private
or governmental.
Except as otherwise provided in Sections 13-118 through 13-121 of this
Act, the rule that the State of
Illinois is not bound by acts of limitations shall not apply to Sections
13-118 through 13-121 of this
Act, and these Sections shall serve to bar any right, title, interest or lien
in land which the State of Illinois or any department, commission or
political subdivision thereof would otherwise have.
