About this statute

The Minister may appoint registry offices at other places, move offices, and increase or reduce their number. The President must appoint a Chief Registrar of Lands to supervise all registry offices and appoint a registrar at each office. An instrument may be registered under this Act if the stated conditions are met. An instrument, other than a will or probate, cannot be registered unless it describes the land well enough for the registrar to identify its location and boundaries, or it refers to an already registered instrument for the same land. Registration proofs must be supported by oath, with special rules for original wills, and the oath must be written, signed, and filed with the registrar.
