Good news for property owners and buyers. The Land Registration Authority (LRA) will soon allow the public to validate the location of their titled property, inform property owners about Registry of Deeds action on their property by way of Short Messaging Service (SMS) or text message and give them the opportunity to trace their titles’ history and legitimacy through computerized information.
Within the year, the LRA will launch three additional services -- the Lot Location Service (LLS), Title Transaction Alert (TTA), and Title Trace Back (TTB) -- under the Land Titling Computerization Project (LTCP).
LLS lets the public verify land title locations, and possible errors and inconsistencies in the Technical Description of their titles. The TTA alerts landowners via SMS whenever their titles are accessed at the Registry of Deeds. The TTB enables them to trace their title’s history and verify its legitimacy without having to go through the current rigorous processes.
Bunched together under the e-Titling Project, the LTCP provides the public with an efficient, reliable and expeditious service that also maintains a secure and accurate record of titles, including identification of fake land titles. The project was launched in 2013 but still has to be fully implemented.
