Real Property Act 1861 (Qld)

The Real Property Act 1861 (Queensland) was legislation that regulated land ownership and transactions in Queensland. It established a system for recording land titles, making it easier to prove ownership and transfer property rights securely. The Act introduced formal processes for registering dealings like sales, mortgages, and transfers, reducing disputes and fraud. Over time, it was replaced and updated by later land legislation, but it laid foundational principles for land administration in Queensland. Essentially, it helped create a clear, reliable system for managing and transferring land interests within the state.
