A Deed Title in Jamaica is an old form of land ownership record, made up of a series of legal documents (deeds and conveyances) instead of a single modern registered title.
Definition
A Deed Title (often called Old Law Title) in Jamaica refers to land ownership documented under the common law deed system, which existed before the introduction of the Registration of Titles Act, 1889. Under this system, ownership of land was proven by showing a continuous chain of deeds, conveyances, wills, or Crown Grants, usually going back at least 40 years.
