Can changing house ownership really be as simple as making an alterations on a decentralized ledger?
You can mimic any existing setup for tracking deeds and similar, or invent new ones, with the added quality that they can't be doctored. Once something is recorded, it's recorded for good.
Blockchain is immutable but legal contracts usually are not. They have break clauses, implied rights etc.
