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:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“The End?”
—Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. End title card, The Blob, printed on screen at the end of the movie (1958)
