Cancellation of Certificate of Title

In a long line of consultas, it has been settled that LRA has no authority to order the cancellation of any duly issued certificate of title. A certificate of title, once issued under the Torrens system, becomes a conclusive evidence of ownership of the person whose name appears on the face of title thereof. It is only a court of competent jurisdiction that can declare a certificate of title null and void, and it is only the court which can order the cancellation thereof, in the proper proceedings brought before it for such purpose.(LRA Consulta No. 3344 dated June 10, 2002 )
