Section 395. Title book  


Latest version.
  • The  registrar shall keep a book or books to be
      known respectively as the "title book", wherein he shall enter all first
      and subsequent "original" certificates of title by binding or  recording
      them  therein,  with  appropriate  blanks for the entry of memorials and
      notations prescribed by this article. Said book shall be  of  about  the
      size of the conveyance libers, now used in county clerks' and registers'
      offices. Each certificate shall constitute a separate leaf of such book.
      About two inches of each leaf on the binding edge shall be kept blank on
      both sides, to facilitate rebinding. At such times as may be proper, the
      registrar  may  rebind  the  certificates in new volumes or title books,
      containing respectively  cancelled  and  uncancelled  certificates.  All
      memorials and notations, that may be entered in the title book under the
      terms  of  this article, shall be entered upon the leaf constituting the
      last certificate of title of the property to which they relate.  In  the
      county  of  Suffolk,  if a microfilm system for retrieval and display of
      the title certificates is used, libers may be stored in a  location  not
      accessible  to  the  public. Whenever the term "certificate of title" is
      used in this article it shall be deemed as including  all  memorials  or
      notations thereupon noted.
