Section 1.
Section s ninety-three and ninety-five of Presidential Decree Number
Fifteen hundred and twenty-nine, otherwise known as the Property
Registration Decree, are hereby amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 93.
Contribution to Assurance Fund. — Upon the entry of a certificate of
title in the name of the registered owner, and also upon the original
registration on the certificate of title of a building or other
improvements on the land covered by said certificate, there shall be
paid to the Register of Deeds one-fourth of one per cent of the
assessed value of the real estate on the basis of the last assessment
for taxation purposes, as contribution to the Assurance Fund. Where the
land involved has not yet been assessed for taxation, its value for
purposes of this Decree shall be determined by the sworn declaration of
two disinterested persons to the effect that the value fixed by them is
to their knowledge, a fair valuation.
"Nothing in this Section shall in
any way preclude the court from increasing the valuation of the
property should it appear during the hearing that the value stated is
too small."
"Sec. 95. Action for compensation from funds. — A
person who, without negligence on his part, sustains loss or damages,
or is deprived of land or any estate or interest therein in consequence
of the bringing of the land under the operation of the Torrens system
or arising after original registration of land, through fraud or in
consequence of any error, omission, mistake or misdescription in any
certificate of title, and who by the provisions of this Decree is
barred or otherwise precluded under the provision of any law from
bringing an action for the recovery of such land or estate or interest
therein, may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for
the recovery of damage to be paid out of the Assurance Fund."
Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect upon its
approval.
