in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Land acquired under this Act can't be used to satisfy a debt. This protection covers any debt that existed before the government issued the final ownership patent for that land.

This section has no lettered subsections; it states one rule. Land acquired under the provisions of this Act can never become liable to satisfy a debt, in any event — as long as that debt was contracted before the final patent in fee (the official deed of ownership) was issued for the land.
