Product Description

Registered land accounts for approximately 10% of all real property in Massachusetts, but it is very likely you will need to handle a transaction in which part or all of the parcels is registered. This new program examines the differences between registered and recorded land in the registry of deeds, including certificates of title, easements, and restrictions, and provides tips for purchase and sale drafting, as well as tips and guidance for Land Court approvals and filing in the registry district. Our panelists also discuss the “deregistration” process, and how to proceed if your client wants to voluntarily withdraw from the Torrens System.
