Torrens system
The Torrens system is a title registration system where the government certifies land ownership rather than relying on recording deeds. Missouri does not use this system; it operates under a traditional recording system. The Torrens system is used in a few states like Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Hawaii, but Missouri relies on its race-notice recording statute to determine priority between competing claims.

Pure race statute
Pure notice statute only requires acting without notice of prior claims, regardless of recording order, which is not Missouri's system.
Pure notice statute
