easy as expected. There are problems along the way if you have not checked thoroughly on the
previous ownership of the land. So to be sure, check rst the encumbrance or marks at the back
of the title on the property you are going to purchase.

If there are a lot of marks, ask someone who is knowledgeable enough on this matter and ask
opinion whether to proceed with the purchase or not. If not, buy a title that is free of
encumbrances. Aside from this, transferring title of land that are undivided or has many owners

to buy a land that has already been subdivided from previous owners to avoid complication.
