to the Tiverton Land Trust, Incorporated, a non-profit Rhode Island corporation, and
further shall not be required to send notice of any intended transfer or assignment
to the owner of record. The transfer or assignment shall not confer upon the Tiverton

to or imposed upon the town of Tiverton as original holder of the tax title. The Tiverton
Land Trust, Incorporated shall hold any tax title transferred or assigned subject
to any and all rights of redemption held by the owner of record and/or his or her
successors and assigns in title. Any and all statutory redemption costs shall be paid

to petition for foreclosure of any rights of redemption.
