Land Registration Act 2002

요약

The Land Registration Act 2002 reformed and modernised the system of land registration in England & Wales, replacing the Land Registration Act 1925. It introduced electronic conveyancing provisions, reformed the law on adverse possession of registered land, strengthened the protection of registered titles, and clarified the rules on overriding interests. The Act aims to create a complete and accurate register of title as a mirror of all interests affecting registered land.
