You need to know which land is subject to the Land Transfer Act 2017. This includes land that was already subject to the Land Transfer Act 1952 before this Act started. Land that is sold by the Crown in fee simple after this Act starts is also subject to it. You will also find land subject to this Act if it is made that way by this Act or another Act. Land that is given to someone for a freehold estate under another Act, including those about Māori land, is also included. This applies to land that is given after this Act starts.
