Land Registration Reform Urged by Massachusetts Governor
Governor William E. Russell urges adoption of the Torrens system for land transfer, arguing it would simplify titles, reduce costs, and improve security. He proposes a special commission to study and report a draft act before the next Legislature, highlighting the system’s optional nature and benefits for small landowners and borrowers. He cites census data, registry volumes, and costs in other regions to support the plan.
