Podren v. Macquarriegreen1 sentence1990L. c. 183, § 3, quoted at note 9, infra. “An estate or interest in land created without an instrument in writing signed by the grantor or by his attorney shall have the force and effect of an estate at will only, and no estate or interest in land shall be assigned, granted or surrendered unless by such writing or by operation of law.” Under Podren v. Macquarrie, 233 Mass. 127, 130 (1919), it appears that Water-town could be regarded as a putative “grantor” of the proposed assignment, and so within the negative reach of the statute. | 1 | 1 |

Costonis v. Medford Housing Authoritygreen1 sentence1962However, housing authorities have been likened to municipal corporations (Costonis v.
