37:2-20.  Presumption of conveyance by widow of entire fee in real estate in  certain cases
    When the records disclose that the title to any real estate is vested partly  in the husband, and partly in the husband and wife as tenants by the entirety,  and the records further disclose a conveyance by the widow of the entire fee of  the land, made after the death of the husband, there being no record of any  grant or devise by the husband, or of his heirs, of his or their interest, if  any, in such real estate, and such conveyance by the widow has been followed by  possession by her grantee and successor in title, although not adverse in  character, it shall be conclusively presumed that such widow, at the time of  such conveyance, was seized of an entire estate in fee, and such conveyance  shall be and is hereby validated and confirmed as effectual in law.

    This section shall apply only to cases where the conveyance by the widow shall have been recorded at least sixty years before any action begun by anyone  claiming under the husband.
