Probative Value of a Torrens Title

A Torrens title is generally a conclusive evidence of the ownership of the land referred to therein ( Ching vs. Court of Appeals, 1990, 181 SCRA 9, 18; Sec. 49, Act 496). A strong presumption exists that Torrens titles are regularly issued and that they are valid. A Torrens title is incontrovertible against any "information possessoria" or title existing prior to the issuance thereof not annotated on the title.

The certificate of title serves as evidence of an indefeasible title to the property in favor of the person whose name appears therein (Ybanez vs. Intermediate Appellate Court, 1991, 194 SCRA 743)
