Who is the responsible legal authority to maintain records related to property ownership?
I'll assume you mean real-estate. My TV is property, too. If someone takes that, I go to the police and we end up in court. Then the two of us present evidence to support our claims of ownership. It's exactly the same with real-estate.
Yes, there is a system for recording ownership of real-estate. As you like to point out, how else would they collect taxes on it? But as Box has pointed out, the records used for collecting taxes are frequently wrong, and only updated annually. And if a tax bill is sent to the wrong person, they can present evidence of that, and get things changed.
Your pie-in-the-sky system seems to depend on keeping bad data from ever getting into the system. "Refuse or delay ... not accept ... exclude evidence ..." All those ideas are saying you rely on a strong gatekeeper function. The stronger the gatekeeper is, the more rigid it is. The only way to allow flexibility is to make it slower. The system is breaking down now because it's overloaded.
So where in this do I advocate destroying our civil court system?Where you suggest that the court research ownership and reach a conclusion before evidence is presented.
Ah, I see. We need to trust the banks and/or any other plaintiff to get their information correct before they file or have some penalty imposed upon them.
Not trust: Demand. Show me another area of law where you can knowingly submit false documentation and not face severe penalties?
