Theodore Bosen: There is good reason Nathan Morin deserves our support

To the editor:

Let’s face it, Register of Deeds is a position that requires command of language and understanding of legal terminology, like the ability to recognize the difference between a warranty, quitclaim, fiduciary, foreclosure, tax collector’s or release deed, and the difference between a jurat, acknowledgement and judicial decree, or between a grant and a devise, or between a possibility of reverter and a right of re-entry. The Register must determine whether the instrument presented for recording is valid and in the proper format. The Register must also determine, in the case of a deed or similar instrument, if it adequately references meets and bounds or a duly recorded plan.
