Subdivision 1.If voluntary instrument; exception.

When any voluntary instrument made by the registered owner or the registered owner’s attorney-in-fact is presented for registration the registrar shall enter a new certificate or make a memorial of registration in accordance with such instrument, and the new certificate of title or memorial shall be binding upon the registered owner and upon all persons claiming under the registered owner in favor of every purchaser for value and in good faith. In all cases of registration which are procured by fraud, the owner may pursue all legal and equitable remedies against the parties to such fraud, without prejudice to the rights of any innocent holder for value of a certificate of title.

Terms Used In Minnesota Statutes 508.51

  • Attorney-in-fact: A person who, acting as an agent, is given written authorization by another person to transact business for him (her) out of court.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
