"BUT by the mere words of the deed the feoffment is by no means perfected. There remains a very material ceremony to be performed, called livery of feifin; without which the feoffee has but a mere eftate at will e. This livery of feifin is no other than the pure feodal inveftiture, or delivery of corporal poffeffion of the land or tenement; which was held abfolutely neceffary to complete the donation. “ Nam feudum fine inveftitura nullo modo conftitui potuit f :” and an eftate was then only perfect, when, as Fleta expreffes it in our law, “fit juris et feifinae conjunctio g.[A CONJUNCTION OF THE RIGHT AND SEISIN]”

Page 314:
"LIVERYof feifin, by the common law, is neceffary to be made upon every grant of an eftate of freehold in hereditaments corporeal, whether of inheritance or for life only. In hereditaments incorporeal it is impoffible to be made; for they are not the object of the fenfes: and in leafes for years, or other chattel interefts, it is not neceffary. In leafes for years indeed an actual entry is neceffary; to veft the eftate in the leffee: for the bare leafe gives him only a right to enter, which is called his intereft in the term, or intereffe termini; and, when he enters in purfuance of that right, he is then and not before in poffeffion of his term, and complete tenant for years p. This entry by the tenant himfelf ferves the purpofe of notoriety, as well as livery of feifin from the grantor could have done; which it would have been improper to have given in this cafe, becaufe that folemnity is appropriated to the conveyance of a freehold. And this is one reafon why freeholds cannot be made to commence in futuro, becaufe they cannot be made but by livery of feifin; which livery, being an actual manual tradition of the land, muft take effect in praefenti, or not at all q."

Page 315:
"LIVERY of feifin is either in deed, or in law. Livery in deed is thus performed. The feoffor, leffor, or his attorney, together with the feoffee, leffee, or hid attorney, (for this may as effectually be done by deputy or attorney, as by the principals themfelves in perfon ) come to the land, or to the houfe; and there, in the prefence of witneffes, declare the contents of the feoffment or leafe, on which livery is to be made. And then the feoffor[STRAWMAN], if it be of land, doth deliver to the feoffee[MAN], all other perfons being out of the ground, a clod or turf [OR FINGERPRINT], or a twig or bough there growing, with words to this effect. “I deliver thefe to you in the name of feifin of all the lands and tenements contained in this deed.” But, if it be of a houfe, the feoffor muft take the ring, or latch of the door, the houfe being quite empty, and deliver it to the feoffee in the fame form; and then the feoffee muft enter alone, and fhut to the door, and then open it, and let in the others w. If the conveyance or feoffment be of divers lands, lying fcattered in one and the fame county, then in the feoffor's poffeffion, livery of feifin of any parcel, in the name of the reft, fufficeth for all x ; but, if they be in feveral counties, there muft be as many liveries as there are counties. For, if the title to thefe lands comes to be difputed, there muft be as many trials as there are counties, and the jury of one county are no judges of the notoriety of a fact in another. Befides, antiently this feifin was obliged to be delivered coram paribus de vicineto, before the peers or freeholders of the neighbourhood, who attefted fuch delivery in the body or on the back of the deed[2 WITNESSES SIGN BACK OF BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR COLB, NOTARIZED WITH NOTARY CERTIFICATE ATTACHED?]; according to the rule of the feodal law y, pares debent intereffe inveftiturae feudi, et non alii : for which this reafon is expreffly given; becaufe the peers or vafals of the lord, being bound by their oath of fealty, will take care that no fraud be committed to his prejudice, which ftrangers might be apt to connive at. And though, afterwards, the ocular atteftation of the pares was held unneceffary, and livery might be made before any credible witneffes, yet the trial, in cafe it was difputed, (like that of all other atteftations z) was ftill referved to the pares or jury of the county a. Alfo, if the lands be out on leafe, though all lie in the fame county, there muft be as many liveries as there are tenants : becaufe no livery can be made in this cafe, but by the confent of the particular tenant; and the confent of one will not bind the reft b. And in all thefe cafes it is prudent, and ufual, to endorfe the livery of feifin on the back of the deed, fpecifving the manner, place, and time of making it; together with the names of the witneffes c. And thus much for livery in deed."

"Right of poffeffion, and I retain nothing but the mere right of property. And even this right of property will fail, or at leaft it will be without a remedy, unlefs I purfue it within the fpace of fixty years. So alfo if the father be tenant in tail, and alienes the eftate-tail to a ftranger in fee, the alienee thereby gains the right of poffeffion, and the fon hath only the mere right or right of property. And hence it will follow, that one man may have the poffeffion, another the right of poffeffion, and a third the right of poffeffion, and the iffue in tail the right of property : A may recover the poffeffion againft B ; and afterwards the iffue in tail may evict A, and unite in himfelf the poffeffion, the right of poffeffion, and alfo the right of property. In which union confifts,
IV. A complete title to lands, tenements, and hereditaments. For it is an antient maxim of the law e, that no title is completely good, unlefs the right of poffeffion be joined with the right of property ; which right is then denominated a double right, jus duplicatum, or droit droit f. And when to this double right the actual poffeffion is alfo united, when there is, according to the expreffion of Fleta g, juris et feifinae conjunctio, then, and then only, is the title completely legal."

Book 3, Chapter 10:
Page 176:

FOR, in every complete title o to lands, there are two things neceffary; the poffeffion or feifin, and the right or property therein e: or, as it is expreffed in Fleta, the juris et feifinae conjunctio f. Now, if the poffeffion be fevered from the property, if A has the jus proprietatis, and B by fome unlawful means has gained poffeffion of lands, this is an injury to A; for which the law gives a remedy, by putting him in poffeffion, but does it by different means according to the circumftances of the cafe. Thus, as B, who was himfelf the wrongdoer, and hath obtained the poffeffion by either fraud or force, hath only a bare or naked poffeffion, without any fhadow of right; A therefore, who hath both the right of property and the right of poffeffion, may put an end to his title at once, b the fummary method of entry. But, if B the wrongdoer dies feifed of the lands, then B's heir advances one ftep farther towards a good title: he hath not only a bare poffeffion, but alfo an apparent jus poffeffionis, or right of poffeffion. For the law perfumes, that the poffeffion, which is tranfmitted from the anceftor to the heir, is a rightful poffeffion, until the contrary be fhewn: and therefore the mere entry of A is not allowed to evict the heir of B; but A is driven to his action at law to remove the poffeffion of the heir, though his entry alone would have difpoffeffed the anceftor."

"IV. A complete title to lands, tenements, and hereditaments. For it is an ancient maxim of the law,5 that no title is completely good, unless the right of possession be joined with the right of property; which right is then denominated a double right, jus duplicatum , or droit droit .6 And when to this double right the actual possession is also united, when there is, according to the expression of Fleta,7 juris et seisinae conjunctio [a conjunction of the right and seizin], then, and then only, is the title completely legal."


[MY COMMENT ON ABOVE: As to "The proper and lawful manner and method to accomplish this is what I am after.", my post here is to shed some light on the "a very material ceremony to be performed, called livery of feifin" that may be what we need to perform using the Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) document. Please focus on this very important task and contribute more research.
