Registration of Title Act, 1964

Supplementary Provisions

Powers of person entitled to be registered as owner of land or charge.

90.—Where a person on whom the right to be registered as owner of registered land or of a registered charge has devolved by reason of the death of the owner or the defeasance of the estate or interest of such owner or by reason of an instrument of transfer made in accordance with the provisions of this Act, desires to—

(a) transfer or charge the said land or create a lien thereon by deposit of the land certificate (or, where that person is the Land Commission, exercise any other rights of ownership, including enforcement of the right to vacant possession), or

(b) transfer or charge the said charge or create a lien thereon by deposit of the certificate of charge,

before he is himself registered as owner of the land or charge, he may do so subject to any burdens or rights affecting his interest which would have been entered on the register if he had himself become the registered owner and subject also to the provisions of this Act with regard to registered dealings for valuable consideration, and in the like manner and with the same effect as if he were the registered owner at the time of execution of the transfer, charge or deposit, as the case may be.
