Land Administration Systems

Prove of land ownership by customary land is generally unwritten, just a confession of the surrounding communities with nature sign boundaries. If land ownership cannot be supported by strong evidence, the land may be registered by someone else who has getting physically for 20 years or more in consecutively and qualified on Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. Proof of old rights derived from the customary land law is rationally difficult to prove because there are no written documents. Customary land law does not know written ownership, only physical possession continually so it is very prone to conflict or dispute. In order to develop land administration in Indonesia, the values of customary land law contained in its principles is expected to be reflected in the land administration so it can reduce land conflict in the community. The role of customary land law has a large portion of the national land law. The role of government or ruling is very important to create a conducive condition in the land sector. A land is not allowed for personal or group interests, its use must be adjusted with the condition and the characteristic of their rights so useful, both for the prosperity and helpful to community and state.

Land Titles

The 1925 legislation was enacted in part to encourage the development of the registration of title to land, to which end the basic doctrines of substantive Land Law had to be simplified. Thereafter, the legislation’s ultimate goal has been to make sure that all land titles in England and Wales are registered. Registration of title aims to facilitate the security of land ownership and land transfer. This chapter focuses on the registration of land titles in England and Wales. After providing an overview of the basics of title registration, it discusses the Land Registration Act 2002, registrable interests, registration with an absolute title, third party rights, unregistered interests which override registration, titles that are less than absolute, dealings with registered land, and indemnity as a result of alteration of register.

Insight Into

This chapter focuses on unregistered land. Unregistered land continues to play a residual (if diminishing) role in contemporary land law. Although its influence is dwindling, there will remain a core clutch of land for which, for the foreseeable future, there will be no trigger for compulsory land registration and it will therefore remain unregistered. An appreciation of the principles of unregistered land gives students better insight into and a more informed angle on the principles of registered land and their effectiveness. Almost 100 years after the 1925 raft of legislation, much of which was designed to facilitate land registration, unregistered land principles therefore retain a significance. The chapter considers how dealings with unregistered land known as ‘title deeds conveyancing’ operate.

The Subject

In 1925, England enacted substantial legislation that recast the existing Land Law, and which provided the framework on which modern Land Law was developed for more than seventy-five years. The essential framework remained intact until the enactment of the Land Registration Act 2002, which replaced, and substantially modified, the Land Registration Act 1925. But while the Land Registration Act 2002 is expected to be an important piece of legislation relating to land ownership in England, the 1925 legislation will still provide a good deal of the theoretical underpinning of the subject. This chapter discusses the main strategies of the Land Registration Act 1925, focusing on its effect on unregistered land. It first describes Land Law after 1925 before turning to legal estates, legal interests in land, equitable rights, land charges registration under the Land Charges Act 1925, unregistrable interests, and classification of interests.

This chapter discusses the origins and structure of modern land law, tracing the development of two kinds of estates and interests: at common law and in equity. It discusses the meaning of estates in land, and legal and equitable rights; examines the differences between the two; and explains why it matters whether a right in land is legal or equitable. The different effects of legal and equitable interests on purchasers of land are noted, because common law acts in rem and equity in personam. This gave rise to the doctrine of notice. The reforms introduced by the 1925 Property Acts are explained, including reduction of legal estates in land to two: the fee simple absolute in possession (freehold) and term of years absolute (leasehold)—Law of Property act 1925 s. 1(1). Registration of land charges partially reformed the doctrine of notice, and overreaching was introduced. The Land Registration Act 1925 introduced compulsory registration of title; there are now two systems: registered and unregistered land.
