Land title registration in Ghana is one of the most important steps in protecting your ownership rights. Without a registered title, land transactions can easily be challenged, and disputes are common. The title registration process is handled by the Lands Commission, which ensures that all ownership details are properly documented and recognized under Ghanaian law.
A registered title serves as legal proof of ownership and provides security against fraudulent claims. For instance, in areas where land ownership is traditionally managed by families or chiefs, disputes over inheritance or overlapping claims can arise. A registered title cuts through such confusion by providing clear evidence of who legally owns the land.
The process involves conducting a search at the Lands Commission, submitting required documents such as indentures and site plans, and undergoing a survey to confirm boundaries. Once complete, the Commission issues a land title certificate.
Failing to register your land exposes you to risks such as double sales, encroachment, or even forfeiture in cases where the government reclaims land. By completing registration, you not only protect your investment but also increase the value of your property since titled land is more attractive to banks, developers, and investors.
