Using this method to deal with real estate, you are searching for the original land grant, freehold title, land patent, or allodial title. The original land grant has the same relationship to land as a manufacturer's certificate of origin has to the automobile. If there ever was an allodial title, you need to do active research into exactly who, what, where, how, and why the allodial title for your land was changed into something else. The "something else" might be called a Statutory Warranteed Deed Of Trust. You research ends when you discover how allodial title was lost because then you know how to regain it.
Most states have adopted variations of the Torrens act. This is an Australian form of land registration invented by a british aristicrat named Sir Richard Torrens. In Washington State, the Torrens Act is codified in title 65.12.220 through .245. The first line of the act describes it as "an agreement," which we have learned is the definition of a contract. The agreement is that you are giving the County (political puppet of the federal goverment) the custody of proof of title for your land and in return, you do not have to worry about security of the title against fire, flood, or tornado. In exchange for this security, the county is authorized to levy taxes against you and to offer your land as security against the National Debt. The remedy in Washington State law is agreed to when initially entering the title into the Torrens Title System. There is no way to remove the land other than by following the simple procedure that is stipulated. All attempts at removal of your land from the state through other methods or citing other acts or laws are going to fail. By presenting, the three, simple pieces of paper that they demand, you receive the title for the land in "fee simple" which is another way of saying allodial title.
In states where there is no way that is stipulated for land to be removed from under the Torrens Title System, remedying the problem should usually require little more than Revocation of Power of Appointment, references to your state's Constitution providing that all political power is inherent in the people, the constitutional provision against state irrevocable trusts (if any) and your notarized Signature.
The best people to hire to do the research are Title Insurance Companies. Even if they do not have their own records, they know the quickest way to research titles in your county's land records. On the wall in the courthouse in Adams County , Washington, there is a big map of the county and the names of the original freehold landowners in the county. If there were freehold titles in Adams, then there were freehold titles in all Counties in Washington. It is a matter of researching previous ownership of your land until you find the last freeholder. Whatever the last freeholder did that gave the land to the government, you find a way to undo it. If you are not receiving any cooperation from your County officials, you will finish this process with a court action called "Quiet Title Action." If you have done your research well, there should be no opposition in your quiet title action. Good luck and happy hunting!
