Sec. 1. A person who has an unbroken chain of title of record to an interest in land for at least fifty (50) years has a marketable record title to that interest, subject to section 2 of this chapter. A person is considered to have this unbroken chain of title when:
(1) the official public records disclose a title transaction of record that occurred at least fifty (50) years before the time the marketability is determined; and
(2) the title transaction purports to create an interest in:
(A) the person claiming the interest; or
(B) a person from whom, by one (1) or more title transactions of record, the purported interest has become vested in the person claiming the interest;
with nothing appearing of record purporting to divest the claimant of the purported interest.
