Torrens land bill transforms titles and records nationwide
The act standardizes land transfers by registering titles and making recorders registrars. It requires bonds, sets examiner roles, and creates a title register with duplicate certificates. Transfers, mortgages, and liens are entered as memorials, with penalties for fraud and detailed fees. Adoption by county vote is required before full effect.
