Under a Torrens system, title transfer occurs

Under a Torrens system, title transfer occurs

• A. When the deed is delivered to the grantee.
• B. When conveyance is registered on the title certificate.
• C. Upon payment of purchase price.
• D. Upon filing the deed with the county clerk.

Answer: (B)

Under a Torrens system, title to real property is created and transferred by registration of the conveyance on the official title certificate. This makes the registered owner’s title indefeasible, with the certificate serving as the definitive evidence of ownership. The deed being delivered, or payment of the purchase price, does not transfer title by itself, and filing with a county clerk isn’t the mechanism for transfer in Torrens. Only when the conveyance is registered on the title certificate does the transfer occur.
