Document background
The Deed Of Sale Without Land Title is a specialized legal instrument used in Hong Kong when transferring property rights in situations where formal land title documentation is unavailable or incomplete. This typically occurs in cases of long-term historical possession, rural properties with unclear ownership history, or properties held through traditional rights. The document provides a structured framework for such transactions, incorporating specific provisions under Hong Kong law to address the unique challenges and risks involved. It includes detailed warranties about possession, comprehensive property descriptions, and specific protections for both parties. The deed must be carefully drafted to comply with Hong Kong's Conveyancing and Property Ordinance, Property Law Ordinance, and related legislation. It's particularly important to include clear representations about the history of possession, current occupancy status, and any known claims or encumbrances.
