Negative system of land registration • Deeds registers: contain the deeds establishing or modifying ownership and certainty rights • Land register: parcel based registration that contains the essentials of the recorded deeds. Entrance to deed registers. • Verifying land register doesn’t givethe title. Data of the land register hasto be verified by inquiring the relevantdeeds in the deed registers
Relevance of recording • Constitutive: Rights in rem (including mortgages) come into effect by recording deeds • Declaratory: Execution measures and precautionary acts (such as the purchase agreement) only have third party effect if they are recorded • Information: Relevant information for inquirers, that doesn’t neccessarily have third party effect. Certificate of inheritance???
Tasks of the Registrar • Refusing or recording deeds (formal check) • Apply deeds in the land register, or ask parties to change the deeds so the deeds can be applied. • If it is plausible that the ownership or certainty rights in the deed- cannot come into effect or- doesn’t take into account an actual previous right,the registrar has the possibility to warn the parties(3:19 Civil code).

How does the registrar maintain control? • Mandates and instructions to deal with standard cases • Special cases: employees call the registrar’s help line • Quality checks of all cases (5%)
Registrar in case of boundary disputes • Because surveying information leads to a decision of the registrar to modify the registration, the registrar is the one parties can object to in case they don’t agree with the cadastral boundary. • Registrar defends hiscase in courts. • Registrar gives instructions tosurveyors.
Processes of registration: boundaries • Legal boundary: intention of buyer and seller when signing the deed • Cadastral boundary (= boundary shown to surveyor): supposed replica of legal boundary
In case of boundary dispute In case of a boundary dispute the court presumes: • Cadastral boundary reflects intention when signing the deed and is legal boundary • Evidence of the contrary is necessary • Result: semi-title system
Elements semi-positive system • Complete numerus clausus / for transfer recording is mandatory • Validity inquiry notary, third party protection • Correct registration checks of the registrar, notification on changes, possibility to warn parties • Liability / compensation if true owner loses right by notary / Kadaster or the government
Tendency towards a more positive system • Meaning Land Register is growing simple acces through Kadaster on line: ideas to expand third party protection for data of the Land Register (and not only for the public deed register) • System of basic registers: governmental organisations are obliged to use the data of the Land Register (without inquiry of the public deed register)
Tendency towards a more positive system • Connecting the basic registers to the Land register • Register of persons, Register of companies, Register of adresses and buildings
