Title is the right to enjoy possession of that which is our own. One of the principles of liberty upheld by our American heritage of law is the right to hold title to private property. Property can be land or things, money or securities, promises or judgments. All these are forms of property in which we are given the right by government to hold title. This maxim tells us title is the right to enjoy.
Title is the right to possess.
Title is the right to say such and such a thing belongs to us and to no other. If we hold title we can call the property our own. If another takes possession of our property without title, we can appeal to the court for a remedy. If we can prove our title, the court is required to restore to us our possession and enjoyment of the property. In some cases the person who took possession of our property may be required to pay money to compensate us for our loss of possession and enjoyment.
