🏠 Land Title: The Core Proof of Property Security
In Malaysia, the Title Deed is the most important legal document proving land or property ownership.
It not only confirms the owner’s legal status but also grants the rights to sell, transfer, mortgage, inherit, or develop the property.
⚠️ Risks of Losing a Land Title
If the Title Deed is lost or damaged, the property cannot undergo any official transactions such as sale, loan, or transfer.
This not only affects property liquidity but also creates more complex and time-consuming procedures in estate inheritance.
📜 Legal Basis for Reissuing a Land Title in Malaysia
Under the National Land Code 1965, a landowner who loses the Title Deed has the right to apply for a reissue from the Land Office.
This applies across Peninsular Malaysia, whether it is a Freehold or Leasehold title.
📝 5 Main Steps to Reissue a Land Title
1️⃣ Lodge a Police Report
State the loss details, date, location, reason, and land particulars.
2️⃣ Statutory Declaration
Swear before a Commissioner for Oaths confirming the loss or damage.
3️⃣ Prepare and Submit Documents
Includes police report, statutory declaration, IC copy, land tax receipts, and copy of title (if any).
4️⃣ Land Office Gazette Notification
Public notice with an objection period.
5️⃣ No Objection ➜ Approval for Reissue
If no objection is raised, the Land Office issues the new Title Deed.
