The Legislature deems that the needs of the society of this state require that persons claiming interests in real estate contrary to the apparent title as shown by the county records and decrees and judgments of the county courts and courts of general jurisdiction come forward and make public their claims and the basis thereof by filing of record a notice of such claim. This act shall be liberally construed to effect the legislative purpose of simplifying real estate transactions by permitting purchasers to rely upon the status of title as reflected by the county records and by the decrees and judgments of the aforementioned courts. Laws 1961, p. 194, § 7.
