§ 508.02 — Registered Land; Same Incidents as Unregistered; No Adverse Possession

Plain-Language Summary

Registered (Torrens) land has the same legal rights and obligations as regular unregistered land, except that no one can gain ownership of registered land through adverse possession (squatter's rights).

Practical Notes
If your land is registered under the Torrens system, it has the same legal status as other property, but with one big advantage: no one can take it from you by squatting on it.
