The provision

The titles of acquisition or ownership of each property shall be delivered to the co-heir to whom said property has been adjudicated. (1065a)

Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms

On partition, the document of title to each property goes to the co-heir to whom that property was adjudicated — the paper follows the thing. Where one title covers several parcels assigned to different co-heirs, or a single parcel divided among them, Article 1090 supplies the rule for who keeps the original and on what terms the others may use it. The article is administrative rather than dispositive: it settles custody of the evidence of ownership, not the shares themselves.
