Lessons 3–4: Basic Land Laws notes

This chapter covers the land law behind every property deal: what land is, how it is owned and shared, who may hold it, how it passes on death or by gift, and how mortgages, easements, covenants and caveats affect a title. Questions give a short scenario and test whether you can apply the rule, such as who takes a co-owned flat on death, how an estate is divided, or which interests bind a buyer.
