Practice question
A buyer records a deed over unregistered land under Section 113 and demands a Torrens certificate solely because the deed was recorded. Is recording alone sufficient?
- Yes, recording every deed is original Torrens registration
- No, recording an instrument under Section 113 is distinct from obtaining Torrens registration of title
- Yes, because the Register of Deeds automatically adjudicates every ownership dispute
- Yes, if a fee receipt exists
- No, because unregistered-land instruments can never be recorded
