Torrens's land system,
A plan of land transfer drawn up by Sir Robert Torrens, and by him put in operation in Australia.
It is now used in all the Australian provinces, in Tasmania and New Zealand, and in British Columbia and Ontario, and has been attempted in various parts of the United States.
Its object is to make the transfer of land as simple as that of bank stock, and render the title of the holder thereof as free from danger or difficulty as ordinarily the title of the holder of bank stock is to the shares he holds.
A land registry is established under the control of an officer known as the master of titles, by whom all land transactions are registered.
A title may be registered as absolute or possessory; if absolute, the title must be approved by the master of titles before the ownership can be registered in fee-simple.
