Land Disputes lawyers by town

Land Disputes law in Malaysia

3 Bar-registered firms across 1 town handle this in Malaysia. Land disputes arise over ownership, boundaries, and dealings registered under the National Land Code 1965 — Malaysia's Torrens-system land registry, where registration itself confers title. A registered title is "indefeasible" (protected from challenge) except in cases like fraud or forgery. Firms below across Malaysia handle land disputes.

Common questions

What does 'indefeasibility of title' mean in Malaysia?

Section 340 of the National Land Code 1965 protects a registered proprietor's title from challenge — but not absolutely. It can still be set aside where fraud, forgery, misrepresentation or certain other defects are proven.

Can a title acquired in good faith still be challenged?

It depends whether you're an immediate or subsequent purchaser. An immediate purchaser's title can be set aside even in good faith if a defect under section 340(2) is proven; a bona fide subsequent purchaser for value is generally protected — this distinction was settled by the Federal Court in Tan Ying Hong v Tan Sian San.

What is a caveat and when would I need one?

A caveat is a formal notice lodged against a land title to stop dealings — like a sale or transfer — going through without your knowledge, commonly used to protect an unregistered interest or during a dispute. A lawyer can advise on the right type for your situation.
