Property Ownership

In Oregon, what is the 'Torrens system' of title registration and is it used in Oregon?

AA system using blockchain to record deeds; widely used in Oregon
BA system where the government certifies title after judicial examination; not widely used in Oregon✓ Correct
COregon's standard title insurance system
DA federal recording system used in rural counties

Explanation

The Torrens system provides a government certificate of title after a judicial examination confirms ownership, making the certificate conclusive evidence of title. Oregon has statutory authority for a Torrens system (ORS Chapter 94 condominiums reference related concepts) but it is not widely used — Oregon relies primarily on the recording system backed by title insurance for title protection.
