POINTERS ON HOW TO DETECT FAKE
TITLES
[ Source : www.lmb.denr.gov.ph ]
1. Compare the original copy in the custody of the Register of
Deeds concerned and with the owner's duplicate copy in the
custody of the title holder, to find out if the latter is an
exact replica of the former. A genuine owner's duplicate of a
certificate of title should be a carbon original copy of the
title. If both are carbon originals, as in the case of the
Original Certificate of title   (OCT), they should have been
together, hence coincide in every way. In case of Transfer
Certificate of Title (TCT), the originals and the owner's
duplicate therefore, should in all respect be similar.
2. Check the initials and signatures appearing on the original
and owner's duplicate copies as well as the manner in which the
entries, and the technical descriptions were typewritten. All
the foregoing details must be the same on both the original and
owner's duplicate thereof. Any variance therefore is a ground
for suspicion.
3. Find out if the serial number of the judicial form used in
accomplishing the title conforms with the serial number of the
judicial form forwarded by the DAR, LMB or by the DENR, PENRO,
respectively, that appear to have issued the title to the
particular Registry of Deeds.
4. Check if the Registry of Deeds/the DENR Secretary/RED/PENRO/DAR
Official who purportedly signed the title is the real Registry
of Deeds, DENR Secretary, RED/PENRO or DAR Official of the
province or city where the land is situated at the time of the
purported signing.
5. In cases of titles based on patents, verification should be
made with the LMB, DENR-Secretary/RED/PENRO and DAR Office
concerned.
6. In cases of titles based on patents, check if the date when
the patent was signed by the DENR, PENRO/RED, Secretary or DAR
Oficial corresponds with his term of office.
7. Find out whether or not the document that supports the
transfer or conveyance of the property is authentic or whether
the title is supported with a Deed.
8. Check the date of revision of the Judicial Form used and see
whether the certificate of title was issued after the revision
date.
9. Trace if the title purportedly transferred from one Regisrtry
to another actually came from and was actually issued by the
registry of origin.
10. Test by wetting, whether the red seal on the owner's
duplicate and the red printed words "OWNER'S DUPLICATE" blot and
stain when wet.
11. In cases of titles based on patents, check if the areas
covered thereby do not exceed the maximum areas provided by law
and existing regulation.
12. Check if the land covered by the patent falls within the
territorial jurisdiction of the DENR and DAR Field Office
issuing the same. If the municipality where the land covered by
the patent is situated not under the jurisdiction of the issuing
DENR or DAR Field Office, the patent is null and void.
13. Check whether the area covered by the patent is within the
limit prescribed for different modes of disposition under the
Constitution and other existing laws.
14. A tracing-back of the title in the Office of the Register of
Deeds (ROD) is the best recourse.
15. Ascertain if it is a reconstituted title (indicated with the
prefix "RT", or with a set of figures enclosed in parenthesis,
and a set outside thereof).
16. Ascertain if there are blanks not filled-up or are indicated
with the initials N.A. meaning NOT AVAILABLE on the historical
data of the title.
17. Check whether the title duly certified true and correct by
the Chief, Surveys Division, or any authorized official.
18. Check whether the Judicial Form used is the correct Judicial
Form.
 Example:
 For Homestead Patent, the Judicial Form is Form No. 67,
   Free Patent Application (FPA) - Form No. 54,
   Misc. Sales Application (MSA) - Form No. 167,
   Sales Application (SA) - Form No. 11
19. In cases of special Patents, check whether the form issued
is in accordance with the prescribed form and containing all the
material facts especially the enabling law.
20. Titles of alien properties, check whether the same was
issued in accordance with existing laws and so specified in the
Judicial Form.
 Example:
 (LASEDECO) Homestead Patent No. ______
   (NAPCO) Sales Patent No. ______
21. Titles issued for settlements, check whether the same was
issued in accordance with existing regulations and whether
specified in the patent.
 Example:
 (LASEDECO) Homestead Patent No. ______ |
