PURCHASER IS NOT REQUIRED TO EXPLORE FURTHER THAN WHAT TITLE INDICATES FOR HIDDEN DEFECTS
> When there is nothing in the certificate of title to indicate any cloud or vice in the ownership of the property, or any encumbrance thereon, the purchaser is not required to explore farther than what the Torrens title upon its face indicates in quest for any hidden defect or inchoate right that may subsequently defeat his right thereto
> Remember though that a Torrens title doesn’t create or vest title. It only confirms and records title already existing and vested
