Abstract

Titles in the Complete series combine extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text to provide readers with a complete introductory resource. This chapter provides an introduction to basic concepts of land law. The discussions cover real property and personal property; property rights which give immediate use and enjoyment of land (fee simple estate and leases); property rights against land owned by other people (mortgages, restrictive covenants, easements, profits à prendre, rentcharges, rights of occupation, interest under a resulting or constructive trust, proprietary estoppel, estate contracts, options, and the trust); and proof of title to land (importance of proof of title, methods of proving that a vendor has good title, unregistered title and registered title).
