  • V. SRINIVASULU the Torrens Title
    TORRENS TITLE SYSTEM – A U STR A LI A A N D OT H ER DEVELOPED NATIONS – A COMMON MAN UNDERSTANDING - V. SRINIVASULU The Torrens Title is a certificate of title for an interest in land. On this single certificate all transactions for the property land are registered; transfers, mortgages, leases and so on, with this registration guaranteed correct by the State. The Certificate of Title was formally prepared in duplicate; one remained with the Registrar General while the owner keeps the other. Since 1990 the register of the certificates of title has progressively been converted to a computerized record. The original Certificate of Title is held electronically and a paper Certificate of Title is provided to the owner as evidence of ownership. Today at the Lands Titles Office any would be buyer can check the title of the property. From computer searches and plans of the district one can trace the land which is of interest. At a glance of the certificate the particulars of the property are clear and the ownership certain, allowing the buyer to go ahead with complete confidence. Robert Richard Torrens is widely regarded as having conceived the idea of the Real Property Act. He first introduced his Bill to amend land titles to the State Parliament in May of 1857 and after much debate and opposition it came to the final vote in December. He then resigned his seat in parliament to become the first Registrar General to administer the new Act. Robert Richard Torrens also helped the introduction of the Torrens Title system to other Australian states and New Zealand.

Greg Taylor* THE TORRENS SYSTEM – DEFINITELY NOT GERMAN AbstrAct This article gives an overview of the reasons why the Torrens system cannot be considered a German import, having regard not so much to the detail of times and dates (which I have examined in detail elsewhere) but to aspects of early South Australian society which tend to disprove a crucial element in the case for considering it a German import: namely, that early South Australians would not have accepted the Torrens system had they known the ‘truth’ that it was of German origin. This accusation is a risible under-estimation of the broadmindedness of early South Australians, and the simple reason they were not told that it was of German origin is that it was not. A response is also provided to the accusation that Torrens was just a self- serving hypocrite when he claimed to be undertaking conveyancing reform in the interests of the public at large. I IntroductIon s I was writing this article, I was preparing for a journey across western and central Canada, from Vancouver to Toronto. That journey1 covered a Adistance of 4466 km and encompassed five of the ten Canadian provinces. Without any interruption, however, I remained during the whole length of the journey within the area in which the Torrens system, invented here in South Australia 150 years ago, is the predominant system of lands titles registration.

COMMENTS YES VIRGINIA-THERE IS A TORRENS ACT In contemplating our jurisprudence one is struck by the fact that while the law merchant has been developed to meet the expanding needs of commerce, and while other departments of municipal law have grown, or sprung into being, in answer to the demands of an increasingly complex civilization, there has been comparatively little change in the law of realty.' The Torrens law 2 is perhaps the most advantageous yet most infre- quently used method of land conveyancing in the United States.' This unique system of land registration is the present terminus in the long and ancient history of land conveyancing.4 In the earliest period of land trans- fers, the method of proving ownership was by actual occupancy.'

  • Registering Boundary Lines in Torrens Minnesota Society of Professional Surveyors February 15, 2018 Scott Lucas & Katie Wahlberg Olson, Lucas, Redford & Wahlberg, P.A
    REGISTERING BOUNDARY LINES IN TORRENS MINNESOTA SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL SURVEYORS FEBRUARY 15, 2018 SCOTT LUCAS & KATIE WAHLBERG OLSON, LUCAS, REDFORD & WAHLBERG, P.A. I. INTRODUCTION These materials discuss the history and nature of the Torrens system and how boundary lines can be registered in a Torrens proceeding, both at the time of an initial registration and in a proceeding subsequent to registration. This presentation will also include a discussion of the use of boundary by practical location to pursue a judicial determination of boundary for registered property. II. TORRENS PRIMER The Torrens system of determining interests in real property is an alternative to abstract property ownership. “Under the abstract system, documents evidencing marketable title may be found in recorded documents or by material outside the recording system. the prospective purchaser of real property looks at recorded documents to determine marketable title of record.” Hersh Properties, LLC v. McDonald's Corp., 588 N.W.2d 728, 733-34 (Minn. 1999). In contrast, interests in Torrens property are determined – in fact, established –by a court. Id. And, whether property is abstract or Torrens affects more than where documents are recorded, or who examines title. It also impacts on issues such as whether possession of the property will mature into ownership. Recent cases and a statutory change in Minnesota not only illustrate how complex these issues can be, but have impacted on how they will be resolved. a. Invention of the Torrens System in Australia The Torrens system was invented by Sir Robert Richard Torrens. He was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1814.
