History of the Certificate of Title
A Certificate of Title is a legal document that serves as proof of ownership for a specific piece of land or property.
It originated with the Torrens Title System, which was created and implemented in South Australia in 1858 by Sir Robert Torrens. The system aimed to simplify land transactions and provide clear records of ownership, making it easier to buy, sell, or transfer property.
The Torrens system has since been adopted across Australia and many parts of the world, including Canada and the UK, and is the foundation for property law in these jurisdictions.
In terms of its use, the Certificate of Title contains crucial information essential for legal transactions involving property, such as sales, leases, and inheritance, as well as for due diligence in property investment and management.
The Certificate of Ownership is a replica of a Certificate of Title. It provides some of the same data but has no legal standing. We have created this replica to ensure it can not be mistaken for an actual Certificate of Title.
