A Word Processor Based Deed Design to Facilitate Land Title Adjustment
Michael Barry
The paper presents a prototype deed designed for situations where paper documents are important, but transactions can be expected to occur through unofficial processes, and the title has to be cleaned up periodically. The deeds system may be maintained on word processors, which require lower levels of information technology infrastructure and lower levels of IT support than a system run on a database. It offers an alternative option to land tenure information systems that run on a database, such as SOLA or the STDM. A word processor based system is a better strategic alternative where the critical success factors for a land tenure information system run on database may not currently exist. That said, the design offers a path to a system run on a database. It is also designed to cater for complex tenure situations, and situations where family law and law are do not have the levels of separation as they do in many jurisdictions where the common law has evolved from English law or Roman law.
