Ron also teaches classes on Constitutional law, Mining law and Land patents. He says that deeds to land demonstrate an event in time, (similar to a Birth Certificate) whereas a Land Patent/Grant is the root title to the land; the foundation for all land titles held throughout the world; a contract possessing continuing obligations.

Do it yourself..... Research Tips
1st check to see if your property is in Abstract or held in Torrance.
Note:
Torrance properties must be taken out of Torrance first, contact Ron.
If you have an Abstract Property follow these steps.
1. On your Tax Statement Find your Section #, Township # and Range #
2. Locate your Patent on the BLM Website. Download a copy and Order 3 certified copies
3. Research your Chain of Title back to the Patent
- 1st option Contact a Title Company to create an Abstract of title.
- 2nd option Try to Do it yourself and Research back to the Land Patent, Starting with Online records or going down to your counties land recording office and looking on their computers, or ask them to help you and show you how to work there system for your research needs. 1st Start from your Name on your Deed , then from whom you bought it from , then from whom they bought it from and so on all the way back to the Land patent.
- Writing down all dates, document numbers, book and page numbers.
- 3rd option Hire a Researcher
If doing yourself Contact your County Recorder to get access to your Counties Land recording website
You may need to start an account, pay a subscription fee or pay to view the documents
There may be more than one site, older records are often on a separate archive site
4. Start with your Name on your deed, search back as far as you can by sellers name on each deed
If your in a Plat, search the records for the plat, that plat will have a List of recorded documents under the plat, for plat changes, it is helpful to look at the plat map, as that will tell you what the plat was before the new plat, and so on. Once you reach a dead end, you may have to go to the archive records next or there was a foreclosure, tax sale, death, plat change or some other event in which you might need to start your research from the land patent and go forward using the meets and bounds descriptions to link your chain up to where you left off. See Below explanations of meets and bounds. This can get very confusing. (Note... Meets and bounds are read backwards)
5. Prepare your Chain of Title Summary with the following info
- Seller Name to Buyer Name and the date of the sale (not the date recorded).
- Make note of Each Document # for each deed; the older entries will be a Book and Page Number. You will need these numbers to request Certified Copies of each Deed from the county recorder.
- Note: you want ownership transfer documents, they wont all necessarily be Deeds, there may be ownership thru a divorce decree, a will, or trust, etc. Include those transfer documents if that is how the transfer took place.
6. Create the Rest of the Land Patent Documents yourself or Contact Ron Gibson to do it for you- He Will Need The Following documents
- Summary Chain of Title
- Copy of your Deed showing ownership
- Copy of the Land Patent
7. Buy Both of Ron's books and watch his 5 part video series where he goes over the book
