Issuing certificates of title
51C Issuing certificates of title
If title to land is registered under this Division, the
Registrar‑General must issue a certificate of title setting out the registered proprietor's estate or interest in the land and the encumbrances, liens or other interests (if any) to which the estate or interest is subject.
The
Registrar‑General may cancel a certificate of title and issue a new certificate in its place—
when registering an instrument dealing with or affecting the registered proprietor's estate or interest in the land; or
if, in the Registrar‑General's opinion, a record should be made on the title.
Despite subsection (1), the Registrar‑General may withhold the issue of a certificate of title if in his or her opinion proper reasons exist for doing so.
