Men are prone to say there is too much red tape about passing
If we could cut it all out we would be better off.
But when you reflect that land is the most permanent and
hence the moat certainly valuable property man can possess, is it
unwise to guard such possession by rules and regulations ?
Centuries of experience and wisdom are behind the rule that
to transfer title there must be some writing.
Written deeds, wills,
and other instruments being necessary, they must be in proper form
Even if technical it is the law of the land, and we must abide
by it.
An abstract of title helps to understand these forms.
