Which process denotes the official recording of land ownership based on legal documents submitted to the Register of Deeds?

• A. Tax Declaration
• B. Land Rights
• C. Land Registration
• D. Land Title

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying the formal process by which ownership of land is officially recorded in public records. This is land registration: it’s the act of taking the required legal documents and submitting them to the Register of Deeds so that the ownership information becomes part of the official land records. Once registration is completed, the owner typically receives a land title (certificate of title) as proof of ownership.

Tax Declaration is about property taxes, not ownership; Land Rights isn’t a formal term for the recording process; Land Title is the document that proves ownership, not the process of recording. So, the process described is land registration.
