N.D. Cent. Code § 47-09-11 (2026).
Text
Grants shall be interpreted in like manner with contracts in general except so far as is
otherwise provided by this chapter. If the operative words of a grant are doubtful, recourse may
be had to its recitals to assist the construction, and if several parts of a grant are absolutely
irreconcilable, the former part shall prevail. A clear and distinct limitation in a grant is not
controlled by other words less clear and distinct.
