The Torrens System In Two Parts PDF Download

Excerpt from The Torrens System, in Two Parts: Part I, Law of the State of Illinois, Approved, June 13, 1895, Essay, Explanatory of the System; Constitutionality of the Law Maintained; Part II, Registration and Transfer of the Title to Real Estate, Its Principles Explained and Its Methods Set Forth In the following pages the reader will find explanation of the modern methods of conveyancing - the registering and transferring of the title to real estate. For clearness and certainty, for speed and safety, and for economy of time and expense, the new system commends itself to every thoughtful and unprejudiced mind. It is truly a system conceived and carried out in plain common sense. The present practice of conveyancing scarcely carries the dignity of the name of a system, in view of its liability to errors, lapses from completeness, and its dark pitfalls. Originating in England immediately after the feudal era of possessory titles, that country has pronounced against it by the establishment of the Torrens system; while a large part of the continent of Europe which possessed in practice the root of this system hundreds of years earlier, has, since 1872, adopted the system substantially the same as that recently incorporated into the statutes of Illinois, and, the ablest men of Germany are now engaged in formulating uniform laws for the Empire, in which this system of land registration and transfer is incorporated. This State, the first to adopt the improved system, simply leads the way: since Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Ohio, Iowa, Utah and Rhode Island give indications of following at an early date. That this system will be universally adopted in the United States is only a question of a very few years of trial.
