This chapter discusses the ways in which interests in land can be created and transferred, in terms of the practical, physical requirements. It considers the rules about the formalities for contract and transfer, by way of writing and the use of deeds, and the law’s gradual adaptation to methods of transfer that do not involve paper and ink. The development of electronic land transactions is introduced. The chapter then discusses informal transactions and the exceptions to the formality rules. It provides an introduction to resulting and constructive trusts and proprietary estoppel, and concludes with a discussion of the difficulties associated with family property. |
