Practice question
A buyer presents a voluntary deed without the owner's duplicate and without any applicable statutory exception or court order. The buyer argues that rules for involuntary annotations permit the same omission for an ordinary voluntary sale. Which answer is correct?
- Every dealing uses identical duplicate requirements
- Section 53's ordinary duplicate-presentation rule applies to this voluntary registration; a different involuntary-dealing procedure does not itself excuse it
- A buyer may manufacture a duplicate
- Payment of a higher registration fee removes every requirement
- Only the buyer's possession matters
