14 Endorsement of documents of title
When any trust is registered under the provisions of this Act, the registered trustees, or one or more of them, may produce to the Recorder any document of title of such registered trustees or their predecessors in office, and may prove to the satisfaction of the Recorder that the property to which such document relates, or some part thereof, is held upon such trust, and thereupon the Recorder shall make or cause to be made on such document of title a memorandum that the premises comprised therein, or such part thereof, are held by the trustees for the time being of such trust, describing such trust so as to identify the same with the description thereof in the Register of Public Trusts and by the number of the folium of such register on which such trust is registered, together with the date of signing such memorandum, and shall sign such memorandum; and upon the signature of such memorandum by the Recorder, all the estate, right, title, and interest of any predecessors in office of such registered trustees in any property comprised in such document of title, or in any part thereof, referred to in such memorandum as held on such trust, shall vest in such registered trustees, and the registered trustees or trustee for the time being shall be empowered to do and suffer all acts, matters, and things in respect of such document of title or such property as if their names were written in such document of title in place of the names of any their predecessors in office named therein.
