Section 26: Protection of disponees

Land Registration Act 2002 · 2002 c. 9View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 3: Dispositions of registered land

Subject to subsection (2), a person's right to exercise owner's powers in relation to a registered estate or charge is to be taken to be free from any limitation affecting the validity of a disposition.

Subsection (1) does not apply to a limitation—

reflected by an entry in the register, or
imposed by, or under, this Act.

This section has effect only for the purpose of preventing the title of a disponee being questioned (and so does not affect the lawfulness of a disposition).
