This Act provides for a comprehensive reform and modernization of land law and conveyancing law. It, among other things, provides for a simplification of the conveyancing process, especially the procedures involved and the taking of security over land; facilitates extension of the registration of title system with a view to promoting its use; and facilitates the introduction of an electronic conveyancing system. The Act concerns also land ownership rights and abolition of feudal tenure and introduces "fee farm grants" a new form of tenure that confuses the nature of a freehold (without a rent) estate and leasehold (with a rent) estate.
