Changing To Title Registration
Hong Kong, one of the very last places in the common law world to still maintain a deed registration system, finally passed the Lands Title Ordinance in 2004, which will see Hong Kong shift to the Torrens title system. The law will be gradually implemented over a period of twelve years.
See Lands Title Ordinance for the situation, in Ireland see http://www.landregistry.ie/

Famous quotes containing the words changing and/or title:
“It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
