The Land Transfer Act

The Land Transfer Act is a legal framework that governs how ownership of land and property is transferred and registered. It ensures that property transactions—like buying, selling, or transferring land—are officially recorded to create a clear, reliable record of ownership. This system helps prevent disputes, provides certainty for buyers and sellers, and simplifies property transfer processes by standardizing procedures and maintaining accurate land title records managed by a land registry. Overall, it facilitates secure and efficient property transactions within the jurisdiction.
