What is Old Law?

YOU ARE IN: Home Page > Frequently Asked Questions > What is Old Law?

 

The current system of transferring land is governed by what is known as the Torrens System.

Properties which were brought or sold prior to this system being introduced are called Old Law Chains of Title.

Property still under Old Law must be converted to the Torrens System when transferred, sub-divided, or even sometimes when refinancing.  This is a service that Balben Property Transfers can happily assist you with.
