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:
“The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don’t always know if it is green or violet, you can’t even say it’s blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
“He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to “Defender of the Faith,” than George the Third.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
