                                  AN ACT

     Validating and quieting the title to certain real estate in this
        Commonwealth heretofore purchased in redemption.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  The title to any real estate, situate in this
     Commonwealth, which was acquired at a tax sale or a sale on a
     judgment for a tax claim prior to January 1, 1948, by the county
     commissioners, any taxing district or trustee for any taxing
     district, which title has been heretofore purchased in
     redemption by the prior owner, his heirs or legal
     representatives or any lien creditor, his heirs, assigns or
     legal representative or other person interested redeeming the
     property for the benefit of the prior owner, is hereby declared
     to be good and valid and free and clear of any cloud on such
     title due to the act of July 7, 1947 (P.L.1368), known as the
     "Real Estate Tax Sale Law," and its amendments, and such
     purchaser as aforesaid and his heirs, successors and assigns
     shall hold and may convey such title and estate indefeasible as
     to any right which may have arisen by reason of said
     unauthorized holding and conveyance by such county
     commissioners, taxing district or trustee for a taxing district
     and all such conveyances heretofore made are hereby ratified and
     confirmed.
        Section 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
