Land Title Transfer forms in Uganda just like it is in other countries, are mandatory for one is interested in transferring ownership of land from him or her self to another party which can be an individual, a company or any other entity. The land title transfer forms bear fields like the Block, area, plot, acres, location where the land is situated and others.
The same forms as per Uganda laws have to bear the names of the current proprietors, the amount which the buyer has paid in total (sum of), the names and signatures of both the transferer and the transferee in addition to names, addresses/contacts and signatures all witnesses who are present during the signing of the forms and sale of the land. Just like it is in all other countries, the land title in Uganda too is an official record of the one who owns the specified piece of land. The same document can also include information about mortgages, covenants, caveats and easements. Like you see below in the sample land title transfer forms, you need to fill all of the fields since they are mandatory.
