LAW08030 2021 Property Law

This module is designed to equip the learner with an introduction to the concepts governing ownership, use and occupation of property in the Republic of Ireland relevant to modern property transactions. The importance of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 in modernising Irish Property Law will be explored and analysed in dealing with the transfer of property. The learner will critically analyse conveyancing transactions including a sale, purchase and lease of property and appreciate the difference between Freehold and Leasehold property, the importance of Co-Ownership, Succession Law, Mortgages and the use of property as security in the transfer of property.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this concise exposition and analysis of the essential elements of law with regard to family relations, marital property, and succession to estates in Ireland covers the legal rules and customs pertaining to the intertwined civic status of persons, the family, and property. After an informative general introduction, the book proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the sources and instruments of family and succession law, the authorities that adjudicate and administer the laws, and issues surrounding the person as a legal entity and the legal disposition of property among family members. Such matters as nationality, domicile, and residence; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and guardianship; succession and inter vivos arrangements; and the acquisition and administration of estates are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice. The book is primarily designed to assist lawyers who find themselves having to apply rules of international private law or otherwise handling cases connected with Ireland. It will also be of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field, and especially to academicians and researchers engaged in comparative studies by providing the necessary, basic material of family and succession law.

This book is part of the series of revision texts aimed at certificate students enrolled in the Institutes of Technology, VECs, RTCs, private third level colleges, universities, and the entrance exam for the Law Society of Ireland's Law School. Land law is a core subject and this text will cover all the required areas.

Long recognised as the definitive work on this area, Landlord and Tenant Law, 3rd edition comprehensively deals with all aspects of this subject relevant to the law in Ireland. It is essential for all practitioners with an interest in property law. The book covers everything from the basics (such as explaining the nature of the relationship between landlord and tenant) to more complex matters such as when disputes arise, and the controversial subjects of rent reviews and guarantees. This is the eagerly awaited third edition of this flagship title and covers in detail the important legislation that has been enacted since the last edition, including: Residential Tenancies Acts 2004 and 2009, Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) Act 2005, Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2008, Land and Conveyancing Law reform Act 2009 (s 132) and Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011. The third edition incorporates extensive case law on several important aspects of the law including: rent reviews, guarantees, break options, service charges, alienation covenants, forfeiture, new tenancy rights and acquisition of the fee simple. It also draws attention to numerous proposals for reform made by the Law Reform Commission. Previous print edition ISBN: 9781845923617
