(1) The owner of land in whose name a certificate of title has

participated or colluded, hold it, subject (in addition to the
incidents implied by virtue of this Act) to the encumbrances, liens,
estates and interests that are endorsed on the certificate of title,

interests whatsoever except the estate or interest of an owner
claiming the same land under a prior certificate of title granted
under this Act or granted under any law heretofore in force and

through whom that person derives title has held possession.
