What is Void at common law?
At common law, "void" refers to a legal status indicating that a contract, agreement, or legal action is invalid and unenforceable from the outset.

Null and void title?
A null and void title would indicate that the deed that created it contained such serious defects that it failed to convey the fee. The problem may be as simple as the person who conveyed the property didn't own it. The deed would be null and void. However, there are dfferent laws in every state that can render a deed null and void. In some states it takes a substantial problem to nullify a deed. In some states one tenant by the entirety cannot convey their interest. If they executed a deed it would be null and void. In Massachusetts there is nothing in the law to prevent one tenant by the entirety from conveying their interest subject to the survivorship rights of the other tenant. I recently heard of a situation in Connecticut where a fiduciary inadvertantly recited warranty covenants in their deed. Fiduciaries are not permitted to give warranty deeds. Instead of extinguishing the warranty covenants by a simple operation of law- under Connecticut law the deed was considered null and void.
