Synopsis:

The Torrens System offers a simpler, safer way to transfer land. This edition presents the principles, debates, and real‑world impact of land title reform. It argues that registration can replace confusing conveyancing with a clearer, more reliable record of ownership.

Across history and in many countries, the system aims to reduce costs, eliminate obscurity, and quiet uncertain titles. It is framed as a practical approach backed by legal decisions and public policy, with attention to how the register and its certificates function in modern real estate transactions.

Clear advantages in conveyancing, title certainty, and reduced litigation

Constitutional and legal questions addressed, with outcomes in multiple jurisdictions

Cost comparisons between traditional title examination and a Torrens‑based system

Practical implications for buyers, lenders, and lawyers involved in land transfers

Ideal for readers of law, real estate, and history of property registration who want a concise view of how land title systems can work in practice.
