Cap. 296 Art. 26Transfer of registered land.

(1) The proprietor may, subject to any entry in the register to the contrary, transfer the registered land or any part thereof, and upon such transfer an application shall be submitted within fifteen days from the date of deed of transfer, the notary publishing the deed shall make a reference therein to the certificate of title number whereby the transferred land is registered; and where a notary fails to make such reference, an extra fee for the registration of such transfer as may be prescribed, shall be due by such notary.

(2) The transfer of registered rights over the land or part thereof shall be completed by the registrar entering, on the certificate, the transferee as the proprietor of the rights transferred on application made in virtue of sub-article (1); and where part only of the land is transferred, this shall also be noted, and separate certificates showing the different parts owned shall be issued: and the provisions of article 21(3) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the registration of such transfers.

(3) All interests transferred or created by dispositions by the proprietor, other than a transfer of the registered rights over the land or part thereof, shall, subject to the provisions relating to charges, be completed by registration in the same manner and with the same effect as provided by this Act with respect to transfers of registered rights; and notice thereof shall also be noted on the register: Provided that nothing in this sub-article shall authorise the registration of a lease or shall render necessary the registration of any easement except as appurtenant to registered land, or the entry of notice thereof except as against the registered title of the servient land.
