Recorder of deeds. Recorder of deeds is a government office tasked with maintaining public records and documents, especially records relating to real estate ownership that provide persons other than the owner of a property with real rights over that property. Background[edit] The recorder of deeds provides a single location in which records of real property rights are recorded and may be researched by interested parties.

The record of deeds often maintains documents regularly recorded by the recorder of deeds include deeds, mortgages, mechanic's liens, releases and plats, among others. To allow full access to deeds recorded throughout the office history, several indexes may be maintained, which include grantor–grantee indexes, tract indexes, and plat maps. The principles of statutory, case, and common law are given effect by the recorder of deeds, insofar as it relates to vested ownership in land and other real rights.

Detailed Cadastral Property Reports | Efficient practice | Tech advisor. As a conveyancer, how sure are you of the exact spatial extent and boundaries of the land you are in the process of registering and how well can you prove this?

Property are by far most people’s biggest investment ever, and the only proof they have of this is a Title Deed with no further proof of the actual extent of the property boundary. This need not be a problem and can be obtained (in most cases) within a few hours, for any location in South Africa. Title Deed is good......spatial cadastral proof is an added fail-safe.

Conveyancers have the responsibility to ensure the correctness of all documentation, prior to the transfer of a deed. They have to protect the interest of their client at all cost – that is what they are paid to do.In most property transactions however, one would only find referral to the written property description, and no proof of the actual spatial extent of the boundary of that property. Most conveyancers only have access (or refer) to a Title Deed ... 1. 2. 3. 4. Cadastral Template -- South Africa. The South African system of land surveying is equal to the best in the world. The country's cadastre, or parcel-based land information system, is highly accurate. Boundaries in surveyed areas are secure and property co-ordinates are recorded in a national reference system. The goal of this paper is to list a few important problems that the South African cadastre is confronted with.

Firstly, there is problem with receiving consents for survey, secondly the incorporation of permission to occupy (PTO's) in the South African cadastre and lastly the different ordinances for consent approval between the different provinces. The South African cadastre has become used by buyers, with time and money available for the myriad bureaucratic and legal procedures that back up a state-of-the-art system, and has been criticised for being inappropriate to a rapidly urbanising society. Land surveyors trigger, but don't create, time-consuming administrative procedures. Info.gov. The Eightfold Agrarian Way | The New Agrarian. The “Eightfold Agrarian Way” is an outline of an agrarian philosophy for the twenty-first century. It is both a catalog and a prescription: a catalog, because it began as an attempt to find the common ground in three thousand years of agrarian thought; a prescription, because I believe that the philosophy I found is as valid for the future as its first authors thought it for the past.

But it is only a beginning, a starting point for further discussion and debate. New Agrarianism, most importantly, is not about preserving a way of life or recreating the past; it is about building the future. These eight principles draw heavily on past expressions of agrarian thought, from ancient Greece to twentieth-century America, but they are not bound by them. Agrarians have few models but the past, and the past is valuable for the lessons it teaches, but each of us must live in the present and plan for the future. 1. The second half of the principle follows from the first. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
