Registry, mutation and possession are different milestones

A registered deed, revenue-record update and physical possession each answer a different ownership question.

01

Registry records the transfer instrument.

02

Mutation updates revenue records and does not independently cure a defective title.

03

Possession is the physical handover and must match boundaries and documents.

04

Use an independent property lawyer for transaction-specific advice.
