What are the three conditions to be protected by the Torrens system?

• A. Good faith purchaser
• B. Paid fair market value for the property
• C. Registered title in land title office
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Under the Torrens system, protection hinges on three elements that together ensure a purchaser’s title is secure. First, the buyer must act in good faith, meaning they have no notice of defects or competing claims when acquiring the property. Second, the transaction should be for value, typically meaning the buyer pays fair market value. Third, the title must be registered in the land title office, because the certificate of title issued by the registry is what provides indefeasible ownership. When all three conditions are met, the purchaser is protected by the system’s guarantee, ensuring their ownership is secure against later claims, subject to limited exceptions like fraud or pre-registered interests. That’s why all of the above are the correct conditions.
