Synopsis

This illuminating legal text details how the devolution of a deceased's real property radically changed with the introduction of the Land Transfer Act of 1897. Before this Act, real estate would have passed to an individual's heir or devisee, bypassing personal representatives such as executors or administrators. However, the Act mandated that on an individual's death, real estate would vest in their personal representatives, or representative, as though it were a chattel. The significance of this change is the shift in the law that assimilated the devolution of real estate with that of personal property. This book delves into the implications and ramifications of this legislative shift, providing a comprehensive analysis of the legal and practical changes that resulted.
