Property publication serves the purpose of showing who owns a property after changes are made, but it doesn't directly impact those changes. It's like displaying a new ownership signboard after the actual property change occurs. The processes of publishing property ownership and changing property ownership are separate things with different aims and values. Separating them gives a clear way to decide how property changes are agreed upon. This separation is evident for both real estate and personal property. By doing this, the way property changes are made shifts to focus on setting a fair time limit for making changes when parties can't agree.
