[MassHistPres] Certificate attached to applicant or property?

[Ralph Slate]

Does anyone have any legal knowledge (as opposed to local policy) of 
whether a granted certificate is attached to the property, or to the 
applicant and the property?

In other words, can a certificate be transferred to another party along 
with the property? Or does it become invalid once the property is 
transferred?

Thanks,
