Article 12 - Registering Title to Real Property
370 - Petition to Register Title to Real Property.

§ 370. Petition to register title to real property. Real property, or
any estate, interest, or right therein, the title to which is hereby
authorized to be registered, may be brought under the operation of this
article by the filing of a verified petition praying for registration,
with the clerk of the county in which the land, or some portion thereof,
is situated. The petition may be so made in person by the owner or
owners of such property, estate, interest, or right, or, where special
circumstances are shown making it impracticable for the owner to make
such petition in person, by an agent acting under a power of attorney
acknowledged in the same manner as a deed to be recorded. A corporation
may also apply by its duly authorized officer or agent. An infant or
other person under disability may apply by his legally appointed
guardian, trustee, committee or conservator. The natural person or
corporation, in whose behalf the petition is filed may be known, and is
treated in this article, as the petitioner. Any other party to the
proceeding may be known as a defendant.
