Sec. 2106.

If the department determines that it is in the best interests of the state to exchange any of the lands mentioned in section 2104 for lands of an equal area or of approximately equal value belonging to private individuals, the department shall maintain a description of the lands to be conveyed and a description of the lands belonging to individuals to be deeded to the state. Before any of the lands are deeded to an individual as provided in this subpart, the person or persons owning the lands to be deeded to the state shall execute a conveyance of those lands to the state. The attorney general shall examine the title to the lands deeded to the state and certify to the department whether or not the conveyance is sufficient to vest in the state a good and sufficient title to the land free from any liens or encumbrances. If the attorney general certifies that the deed vests in the state a good and sufficient title to the deeded lands free from any liens or encumbrances, the department shall execute a deed to the individual of the lands to be conveyed by the state selected by the department in lieu of the lands.
