Title to land
51Title by registration
On registration under this Act of a person as the owner of an estate or interest in land, the person obtains a title to the estate or interest that cannot be set aside.
The title of the registered owner is free from estates and interests in the land that—
- are not registered or noted on the register; or
- are not capable of being registered or noted on the register.
Despite subsections (1) and (2), the title of the person registered as owner of the estate or interest is subject to—
- the exceptions and limitations in sections 52 to 56, subparts 1 and 3 of Part 4, and section 204; and
- any enactment other than this Act that overrides or limits the title.
Subsections (1) and (2) apply whether or not the registered owner acquired the estate or interest—
- for valuable consideration; or
- from a fictitious person.
Nothing in this section affects the in personam jurisdiction of the court.
