REGISTRATION
OF INTERESTS IN LAND
Interests
in
torrens
land
can
be registered on the certificate
of title.
Only
registered dealings are recognised as statutory interests under the
LTA and therefore, the holder of such an interest is the registered
proprietor of the lease, mortgage etc. Evidence of title is by the
particular dealing such as a registered mortgage. Registration must
be in the approved form but unregistered dealings are not illegal and
are often enforceable. Some interests cannot be registered under the
LTA such as the declaration of a trust.
