When dealing with Torrens property, sometimes there are items listed on the certificate of title that you are not able to obtain a release for. When this occurs, what options do you have? In this article, we are going to offer up a couple tips for eliminating items from a Torrens property certificate of title.

Proceeding Subsequent Action

One potential option for removing items from the Torrens property title is a proceeding subsequent action. With this option, an attorney brings the action to a court to decide whether or not the items can be removed from the certificate of title.

Examiner’s Directive

Another potential option for eliminating items from the Torrens property certificate of title is an examiner’s directive. This directive comes directly from the examiner of titles and instructs the registrar to eliminate the item in question from the title certificate. This can be a useful option for minor items impacting title.
