There was a very good audio course available that went into great detail on the laws that apply to land transfer. It was available through WCES. However, their web site hasn't worked for over a month now.

I believe the (s)upreme (c)ourt decided that 'homes and businesses' and property could be seized. I would be surprised if they mention LAND anywhere in the ruling. What they did mention are appurtanences to land and property or possibly real estate. None of these are LAND.

Connecticut is one of the original 13 states and through the treaty of paris of 1783 with king george land grants were not supposed to be touched by the new government. If there is no sheriffs auction in your abstract then title can be traced back to the original grant or patent. Your title is protected by international law. If there is a sheriffs auction transfer you don't have clear chain of title back to the original grant. What you bought was color of title since the state only sold you what interest they had. The only interest the state had was an equity interest.

The legal profession could be trying to blow smoke up your A$$ if they think you can be fooled. The affect of the ruling could be to make people think that they don't have a legal leg to stand on and to just give up and sign their LAND away for a pittance. DON'T SIGN. Even if you get thrown off. Wait until the multimillion dollar development goes in and then decide you want your land back.
