Alienation of land

Alienation of land refers to the legal process of transferring ownership or rights of a land parcel from one party to another. This can occur through sale, gift, mortgage, or other means recognized by law. Essentially, it is the act of sidelining the original owner’s control or interest in the property and transferring it to someone else. Alienation can be voluntary, such as a sale, or involuntary, like a foreclosure. The process ensures that the transfer of land rights is legally valid and recognized, and it often involves registration with relevant authorities to formalize the change in ownership.
