Product Information

Excerpt from A Concise Treatise on the Law Relating to Sales of Land Half a century of law reform has made Conveyancing a very different art from what it was in the days of Fines and Recoveries. Then, transactions connected with the transfer of land, although less frequent, were of greater magnitude than at the present day, and were completed with what seems to us a lavish expenditure of words and parchment. Now, on the contrary, there is a preponderance of small transfers, and the length of deeds has been diminished to probably one-fourth of their former dimensions. It has been stated on excellent authority that a thousand deeds connected with land are executed every day in England; and that many of them relate to transactions so small that even a moderate registration fee would be a burthensome tax. As to the vexed question of prolixity, although the ticket system of Conveyancing has t yet come into fashion, it must be admitted that modem drafts have been shorn of all tho unnecessary verbiage with which they were formerly overladen. Simplicity of transfer has been for many years the end to which the energies of law reformers have been directed; and for the attainment of this end two distinct methods have been adopted. The one - Registration of Deeds or Titles - has hitherto been an absolute failure; the other, consisting in successive amendments of tho law of real property, has effected a large measure of practical reform. During the earlier half of the present reign, the work, which had been begun by the abolition of Fines and Recoveries, was continued in almost every Session of Parliament. A single deed of grant replaced more cumbrous forms of assurance; satisfied terms were extinguished; facilities for alienation were provided by the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act, and numerous amendments were introduced by the several statutes associated with the names of Lord Cranworth and Lord St. Leonards.
