How to resolve disagreements about land registration entries
If the assistant registrar is unsure about what to write on a land document, or someone involved disagrees, the question goes to court. The court decides after notifying everyone and holding a hearing, then tells the registrar what to record.

The statute, as written — Reference of doubtful questions
Where the assistant registrar is in doubt upon any question, or where any party in interest does not agree as to the proper memorandum to be made in pursuance of any deed, mortgage, or other voluntary instrument presented for registration, the question shall be referred to the court for decision, either on the certificate of the assistant registrar, stating the question upon which the assistant registrar is in doubt, or upon the suggestion in writing of any party in interest; and the court, after notice to all parties and a hearing, shall enter an order prescribing the form of memorandum to the assistant registrar, who shall make registration in accordance therewith.
