Article 12 - (370 - 436) REGISTERING TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY
394 - Certificate of title.

  394.  Certificate  of  title. The registrar shall make, in the form
  prescribed by section four hundred and thirty-five of this  chapter,  an
  original  certificate  of  title  of  every  title,  right  or  interest
  registered by him pursuant to this article. Said certificate shall  bear
  the  date  of  its  issue  (the day and year), and be under the hand and
  official seal of the registrar, and be numbered  in  the  order  of  its
  issue.  If  the owner is a minor, it shall state his age; if he is under
  any other disability, it shall state the nature of such disability.  The
  registrar  shall  make proper memorials or notations on the certificate,
  showing in such manner as to set forth and  preserve  their  priorities,
  the  particulars  of  all  the  estates,  mortgages,  trusts,  liens and
  charges, to which such owner's title is subject.  No  such  memorial  or
  notation  shall  be  more than one folio (one hundred words), in length;
  but it may refer to covenants, restrictions, trusts and  forms  recorded
  in  the "book of covenants, restrictions, trusts and forms" provided for
  by this article. The form of the first  certificate  of  title,  as  set
  forth  in section four hundred and thirty-five of this article, shall be
  subject to such changes as may be required in any case.  All  subsequent
  certificates  shall  be  in like form, except that in place of the words
  "first certificate," et cetera, shall be the words "transfer from number
  ........." (the number of the next previous certificate); also the words
  "first registered .........." (date of first registration).  On the back
  or reverse side of every certificate shall be printed, in plain  legible
  type, the whole of section four hundred of this chapter.
