Excerpt from The Torrens System: Its Simplicity, Serviceability and Success
This discussion of the Torrens System appeared as a series of articles in The Wall Street Journal. Bequests have come from many parts of the United States for their collection in permanent form. Because of this and of the attention now directed to the Torrens idea the articles are reproduced in this book.
No legal or economic principle is of greater moment than the system known as the Torrens. It interests every owner of property, without exception, every lawyer and every financier who may soon see real estate become an asset as liquid as other factors of wealth upon which banks are expected to loan funds.
Eleven of the United States have already adopted, in whole or in part, the Torrens System. It has been proved to be of increasing benefit to the owners of property and of homes. In many States coming sessions of the legislatures will prepare to take action looking to the adoption or the perfection of systems of conveyancing and the passage of Torrens Acts. The bitter opposition of vested interests to the enactment of such legislation, the nation-wide demand for simplification of the processes of conveyancing, the need of abolishing antiquated methods of land transfers, and the appreciation of the negotiable qualities of land values make the subject of this discussion of paramount importance. Knowledge of the conditions surrounding the Torrens principle is of vital interest to the smallest as to the largest holder of real estate.
