N.D. Cent. Code § 47-09-11 : — PROPERTY09 - TITLE BY TRANSFER - GENERAL PROVISIONS —09-11 - Interpretation of grants

Grants shall be interpreted in like manner with contracts in general except so far as is otherwise provided by this chapter. If the operative words of a grant are doubtful, recourse may be had to its recitals to assist the construction, and if several parts of a grant are absolutely irreconcilable, the former part shall prevail. A clear and distinct limitation in a grant is not controlled by other words less clear and distinct.
