What’s the difference between a “Title” and a “Name”?

This confused me my whole life and I never really took the time to actually discern between the two. When working with temporal concepts of rights and interests, the ownership of those rights and interests need to be given a legal handle so One can move them, use them and transfer them.

Moving and using rights and interests of a thing is done through the “container” of them if you will – which is more on the legal side as a Title. Think of a Title as the legal container of Rights and Interests – whereas a name is more of a non-legal loose subclassification of the Title. For example when you buy a new lawnmower and you get an instruction manual with it in the box, but instruction manual is not the legal Title of that little booklet, we privately name it “instruction manual” where as the official Legal Title is: HONDA SM100 LAWN MOWER MANUAL.

Going forward, when someone asks you for your name, you can privately give them whatever equitable name you feel. When someone asks you for your Legal Name – they are confused and don’t know the difference between a Name and a Title (Red Flag) so be careful when granting anyone your Legal Title!

What is a Title?

The word “Title” certainly does not just merely signify the right which One has to the possession of property; because there are many instances in which a ‘PERSON’ may have the right to the possession and control of property, and at the same time have no Title to the same. In its ordinary legal acceptation, however, it generally seems to imply a right of possession also.

It, therefore, appears to signify the outward evidence of the right, rather than the mere right itself.
 Thus, when it is said that the “most imperfect degree of title consists in the mere naked possession or actual occupation of an estate,” it means that the mere circumstance of occupying the estate is the weakest species of evidence of the occupier’s right to such possession.

Title Authentication is required in the law of evidence. Therefore the act or mode of giving Authority or legal authenticity to a statute, record, or other written instrument, or a certified copy thereof is required in order to render it legally admissible in and as evidence. 
An attestation made by a proper officer by which he certifies that a record is in due form of law, and that the person who certifies it – is the officer appointed to do so.
