English term or phrase: make up title to

I'm translating the following sentence from a CN2 form:

,,Therefore the Sheriff, in Her Majesty's Name and Authority, Ratifies, Approves, and Confirms the Nomination and Appointment of the said Executors, and Gives and Commits to the said Executors full power as appropriate to take possession of, make up title to, uplift, receive, administer, and dispose of the said personal Estate and Effects, grant discharges thereof, if needful to pursue therefor, and generally every other thing concerning the same to do that to the office of an Executor-Nominate is known to belong: Providing always that the said Executors shall render just count and reckoning for intromissions there with, when and where the same shall he legally required. ''

Could anyone please paraphrase the verb ''make up'' in this context? Does it perhaps mean ''create'' or ''improve/remove deficiencies''?
Thank you

establish ownership of... (by registration)

Explanation:
This seems to be another specifically Scottish legal expression. The sense indicated can be reasonably deduced from various examples to be found in Scottish documents, but I think the following, from a Scottish Law Commission document on Trusts, makes it clearest:

"It will be weeks or even months later before the executor/trustee obtains confirmation whereby the ownership of the property in the estate can be conveyed to him.9
[Note 9:] Even then where the estate consists of heritable property, ownership does not pass to the executor when confirmation is granted but when he makes up title by registration. In practice, few executors make up title to heritable property."
