§ 38-36-191 — Alteration of certificate only on order of court

(1) No erasure,
alteration, or amendment shall be made upon the register of titles after the entry of
a certificate of title or a memorial thereon and the attestation of the same by the
registrar of titles, except by order of the court. Any registered owner or other
person in interest may at any time apply by petition to the court, upon the ground
that registered interests of any description, whether vested, contingent, expectant,
or inchoate, have terminated and ceased; or that new interests have arisen or been
created which do not appear upon the certificate; or that an error, omission, or
mistake was made in entering a certificate or any memorial thereon or any
duplicate certificate; or that the name of any person on the certificate has been
changed; or that the registered owner has been married, or if registered as married,
that the marriage has been terminated; or that a corporation which owned
registered land has been dissolved and has not conveyed the same within three
years after its dissolution; or upon any other reasonable ground; and the court shall
have jurisdiction to hear and determine the petition, after such notice as it may
order to all parties in interest, and may order the entry of a new certificate or the
entry or cancellation of a memorial upon a certificate, or grant any other relief upon
such terms and conditions, requiring security if necessary, as it may deem proper.

(2) This section shall not be construed to give the court authority to open the
original decree of registration, and nothing shall be done or ordered by the court
which impairs the title or other interest of a purchaser holding a certificate for
value and in good faith, or his heirs or assigns, without his or their written consent.
