1997 Minnesota Statutes

     508A.45 Court may order duplicate cpt produced. 

    If the registrar of titles is requested to enter a new CPT 
 in pursuance of an instrument which purports to be executed by 
 the registered owner and the outstanding owner's duplicate CPT 
 is not presented for cancellation when the request is made, the 
 registrar of titles shall not enter a new CPT until authorized 
 so to do by order of the district court.  The person who claims 
 to be entitled to it may apply for it to the district court, and 
 after due notice and hearing, the court may order the registered 
 owner, or any person withholding the duplicate CPT, to surrender 
 it, and direct the entry of a new CPT upon the surrender.  If 
 the person withholding the duplicate CPT is not amenable to the 
 process of the court, or if for any reason the outstanding 
 owner's duplicate CPT cannot be delivered up, the court may by 
 decree annul it, and order a new CPT to be entered.
