74: Transfer of part of land in record of title

You could also call this:

"Transferring part of your land to someone else"

Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

You can transfer part of the land in a record of title. When you register a transfer instrument, the Registrar looks at the land being transferred. The Registrar must cancel the old record of title for the transferred land. You get a new record of title when you transfer land. The Registrar may create a new record of title in your name for the transferred land. The Registrar may also create a new record of title for the land that was not transferred. You can look at ss 92–94 for more information about this.
