Where are the Allodial titles?
Allodial titles come from a pure trust that anyone can create. Therefore, Allodial titles are not controlled by anyone but the people as it should be. Deeds were created by Henry II Plantagenet in the 12th century who passed out land to people he liked called "Vassals". This feudal system still goes on today albeit we believe it was something of old. When man does no take control, he leaves it to someone else.

As a result people hold deeds and do not have proper title, the Allodial (no load) title. Still the word "allodial" must be used and not freehold or no load title. The wording is very important.
