Introduction
Ghana’s land registration landscape is a complex tapestry woven from colonial legacy, post-independence reforms and customary practices. The Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036) currently introduces multiple regimes for land registration comprising deeds registration, title registration and customary law registration. Essentially, each regime has its own sets of rules, procedures, and implications for landowners and interested parties.
In practice, these distinct regimes have sometimes been poorly articulated and appear to be on a collision course; overlooking their distinct characteristics and consequences. The unified approach has serious implications for land governance in Ghana.
This article examines the multiple regimes of land registration in Ghana from the historical, customary, social, statutory and judicial perspectives.
