The Torrens Title system

The Torrens Title system is a method of land registration where a government-maintained land register provides a guaranteed record of property ownership. Instead of relying solely on old deeds, your ownership is reflected in a central official register, making transactions more secure and straightforward. When you buy property, your ownership is officially "rolled over" into this register, reducing disputes and fraud. The system emphasizes clarity, with each title including details about ownership, mortgages, or easements, ensuring that both buyers and lenders can trust the accuracy of the property's legal status.
