'''Torrens System of Title Registration.''' The Land Transfer Act of 1870 instituted the Torrens System of Title Registration which provided for a government-guaranteed title for all property. At that time, land registration districts were created. All land titles are held in individual districts, rather than in a central registry. Land titles include information helpful to the genealogist such as names of current and former owners, a description of the land and its disposition.
