370 - Petition to register title to real property.

 
    §  370. Petition to register title to real property. Real property, or
  any estate, interest, or right therein, the title  to  which  is  hereby
  authorized  to be registered, may be brought under the operation of this
  article by the filing of a verified petition praying  for  registration,
  with the clerk of the county in which the land, or some portion thereof,
  is  situated.  The  petition  may  be  so made in person by the owner or
  owners of such property, estate, interest, or right, or,  where  special
  circumstances  are  shown  making it impracticable for the owner to make
  such petition in person, by an agent acting under a  power  of  attorney
  acknowledged in the same manner as a deed to be recorded.  A corporation
  may  also  apply  by its duly authorized officer or agent.  An infant or
  other person  under  disability  may  apply  by  his  legally  appointed
  guardian,  trustee,  committee  or  conservator.  The  natural person or
  corporation, in whose behalf the petition is filed may be known, and  is
  treated  in  this  article,  as  the  petitioner. Any other party to the
  proceeding may be known as a defendant.
