Conveyancing & Deeds

Conveyancing in Trinidad and Tobago involves the legal transfer of property from one party to another, whether by sale, gift, mortgage, or lease. The country operates under two parallel land title systems - the Common Law System and the Registered Land System under the Real Property Act (RPA). Each system has distinct legal requirements and procedural steps for perfecting and transferring title.

Under the Common Law system, title is established by tracing ownership through a chain of valid deeds over a minimum statutory period. In contrast, the RPA system provides for registration of title with the Land Registry, creating a government-guaranteed certificate of title that simplifies future transactions.
